German camo

Post by C-7A Caribou » Sat Feb 10, 2007 3:50 pm

I bought the Otto Wilndorff figure yesterday, and remember hearing about the funky camoflage. Is this correct, and if not, could I be directed to pictures of correct german camo?

Looks to be a fall palm pattern.

It was a very late war pattern intended to replace all the many other patterns then in use. It barely reached service and can almost be considered Reichswehr '46. I don't remember the name, started with Z, but will see if I can find it again.

Thanks for the help everybody. It looks as though a repaint is in order.
