discussion A few ww2 colour reference photos

[dalej2014]

Stumbled across this site looking for colour pics of Panzers. I think it may be a game site?
Navigation is poor and it keeps reverting to Russian, but if you persevere there are some good colour armour pics.
Anyway, another resource.

Thank you Dale.

Good find, though I would very much caution against using any kind of colour photograph as a definitive guide for choosing model paints Because of all the steps between taking the picture and putting it up on a web site, it will not match the original even remotely. Not to mention that any German original colour photo, well, isn’t — apparently, every colour photo published in Germany before 1945 was colourised (as in: painted in approximations of the right colours, or using guesswork if no good information was available).
