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

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.

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.
