I have come across a great website with plenty of colour profiles of many different subjects of tanks and guns. A lot of inspiration for future projects and no need to paint boring one colour camouflage schemes when you have this much to choose from.
T28M (aka T28E) of the 1st “Red Banner” Tank Division, 1st Mechanised Corps, Karelian Front, June 1941.
A camouflaged late Mark V hermaphrodite. On the other side, a machine-guns sponson was fitted. Multi-pattern liveries were applied on site, with provisional, regulated colors. White, pale blue, brown, dark grey, black, were commonly used in spotted patterns, with or without black borders (French 1918 standard livery). The last Mark V were delivered well after the armistice. By then, the Mark V star has replaced them.
A rare early tri-tone camouflage for the 1940 model, Moskow rifles guards bataillon.
M5A1 pacific, Saipan, Mariannas islands offensive, june 1944. Notice the simpified “jungle” pattern camouflage.
Ausf F/G upgraded on H lines, with full Schurzen armor – XVIth Panzerdivision, Russia, southern sector, summer 1943.
Stridvagn L-60 M/40K (L-60D) army designation S/V. Karlsverk produced some 80 of these tanks until 1944.
Infanterie-Kampfpanzer Mark II 748(e), (Captured Matilda), 8th Panzer-Regiment, XVth panzerdivision, Libya, 1942. Notice the makeshift camouflage and the absence of any Balkankreuz. I some cases a simple flag was displayed instead.
200 Ausf M were converted on the stocks by Wegmann at Kassel as Flammenwerfers, under the designation Ausf M(FI) or officialy Sd.Kfz 141/3. They were almost identical externally the the regular Ausf M, but with a 140mm Dummy gun, which also conceiled the flamethrower. They had also additional 30mm to 50mm armor plates welded on the frontal part of the hull and glacis, because their range was quite shorter (limited to 60m at best), hence exposing them to dangerous close fire. The two coaxial and hull Mgs were retained, but they carried also 1020 liters of inflammable oil into two tanks inside the hull. All this additional weight made them the slowest of all versions. These tanks were often given to SS assault squads, like this one, fighing in Normandy in june 1944. Notice the zimmerit anti-magnetic paste and complex camouflage of this period, well adapted to the bocage.
