Tank rounds - need color images ..

Post by Marc von Martial »

HI guys,

does anybody have some colored images of (preferable) german tank / Flak / Pak rounds of WW2 ? I have gazillions of line drawing and b/w shots, but nothing colored. Could be even from a modell box ;).

Thanks, Marc

Checked what photos I have and nothing else but a Nebelwerfer round, Sov 45mm HE and AP and rather poor 40mm Bofors rounds...I concentrated taking tank pics, this ammunition sort of 'was included' :)

Hmmm, looking at the shape of the US 75mm round I would even take a color photo of that one ;)

Man....gmenfan seems to be really dedicated to matrixgames and he always helps those in need.Hail to the hero.

To matrixgames team: i would think gmenfan deserves some kind of honoring or reward not only for this but all other things he has done to help newb (like me;) ) feel comfortable here.

If you're still looking for some special german rounds, I have plenty of modelling instructions with painting guides left. Maybe I have some for the rounds you're looking for.

Marc, if you're still looking I have some photos I took at APG (during SP:WAW-CON) that show their display of various rounds. The quality isn't great (I was shooting through glass with a cheap camera) but they're yours if you want them. I think the ones Mike found are far, far better than mine.
What, me worry?

Thanks for all the help so far. I would most defintly like those things you offer Losqualo and Bernie. Hard to come by references that also show what actually was "written" on the shells. .

Okay Marc! I'll scan them and send them to your email address as soon as I can, probably later today.
