Here is some of my Desert War vehicles to go with the 8th Army from last year and up and coming DAK this year.
My first attempt at Caunter scheme, by hand. DAK colours the 3 colour phases. Panzer grey over sprayed in mud and or sand colour. Desert Sand and also Pea green.
In the background to the British tanks some late editions to DAK force in Pea Green.

As your a rich man I am awaiting them as a late Xmas present from you, then I can paint them ?
If not I will carry on with what I already have in my plastic/Metal mountain to be made and finished off.

Looking into the subject of Caunter Scheme. Mike Starmer is the authority on such matters.
He brought out a series of books on the subject including the Caunter Scheme in the late 90's, and amended in the 2012/13. He also brought out a good article that was a continuation of his book in an IPMS magazine issue 2 2012. I ve just recently bought this on EBay for £3.99. I think he also done some other articles in other modelling magazines as well, including MAFVA quarterly Magazine.

Miles,
They all look very nice. I have a lot of respect for anyone who can paint Caunter in 15mm.

What colour did use for DAK pea green?

Thank you,
Martin Buck
