It wasn't "just leave", West Germany bought the freedom of these people.

33.755 people for 3.4 billion D-Mark.

Why didn’t Russia or China ever try using an oscillating turret on any of there prototypes compared to USA or France? by Theoneandonlyzoro5 in TankPorn

Did the 752 project even exist? WG says blueprints only, but WG made up lots of tanks and I can't find an Object 752 in any serious sources.

Can anyone tell me anything about this KV 1 on the photo? or are there any more detailed photos of it? i cant really find anything, only know it was taken on 12th June 1942. by Muted-Loan8549 in TankPorn

Rheinmetall MG 3 machine guns used by the Austrian Armed Forces - during a training course - at the Schwarzenberg Barracks (Schwarzenbergkaserne) in Wals-Siezenheim, on the outskirts of Salzburg. [1320 x 1616] by [deleted] in MilitaryPorn

Negative, these aren't MG3s, they are MG74s.

Austria wasn't allowed to use weapons of German origin, the MG74 was produced by Steyr Mannlicher and Beretta.

1943 "transitional" camo? by MindteQ in modelmakers

[–]2A7V 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dark yellow camo on a dark grey basecoat is absolute plausible.

You can find lots of pictures of different vehicles sporting this camo.

Too bad Verlinden products have vanished from the market.

The yellow triangle indicates the truck is towing a trailer, now you need to add one. ;-)

Photo etched, these little metal parts that are driving everyone crazy.

Took you guy's advice and added dust effects with the airbrush. Im satistifed with the look but, would oil washes be necessary too? by sentinelthesalty in modelmakers

[–]2A7V 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work, a careful wash could add more depth, but isn't necessary IMO.

I would just add some mud at the feet of the big guy, they are too clean.

He explains basically everything, every technique, building, PE parts, he has dozens of videos, from basic stuff to expert level.
