discussion Panzer IV

[Robert1968]

Hi chaps I'm needing a little help with finalising this dio ( almost there )


Does anyone know what colour sheets that were carried either by DAK or the British armed forces in Africa.


I want to depict a sheet covering a dead German but am unsure of standard issue colours for either side ?

I would say ,they would be in white,sand ,green ,gray the same colors as there uniforms were,

I'd go with that Robert...... and not particularly clean either...... I'm not sure they would have been too on top of the laundry in the desert.

Having thought about it...... I think, rather than a sheet, it's more likely that they'd use a piece of grubby tarpaulin. I would think that'd be easier to find off a vehicle.

The wife's gonna let me have an old hanky( washed and ironed but I'll paint it light sand/white/ olive and give it the obvious stains( may even have the odd blood splatter )


Hoping to get finished for new year reveal
