Hello ! I'm new & got questions on Finnish MAZ537

Hello Richard and welcome to the Finnish world of armour modelling.

First I admit being quilty for the Mallix article. And then some back ground info. There is no official camo scheme drawing existing anywhere. The only way is to study pictures. Some work is going on. Also there is a project with aim of producing decals for Finnish MAZ. Time schedule for this product is not in my hands.

My recommendation is to build the MAZ ready for painting and wait for the decals which will include the camo drawings.

Finnish camo color recipes mentioned in this conversation are also my doing. I wish to point out that these recipes produce a 1/1 scale shade! They need to be lightened for model scale effect.

And finally: Ps 850-x = MAZ, Ps 860-x = the trailer

Cheers, Jukka

Hi Jukka,

Thanks for your recommendation, that seems truly wise.

I have a question about the camo colors described :

Kristian, and Timo gave Dark green AN11, Light green AN22, Brown AN33, Black AN44.

As far as I noticed (I may be wrong) I cannot see any pics of any AFV in Finland with a 4 tone camo, I only saw 3 colors camo schemes (dark green, light green and black). So can you tell me what AFV is the brown used on ?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Richard

Hi,
the only vehicle that I remember having the 4 tone camo is the ItO 96 (Buk M1) SAM system.


The XA-360 (AMV) APC has brown but it seems to be only a 3 tone camo.


Leopards and CV9030's have the usual 3 tone black-dark green-light green camo.

Pulling out of my memory: one Leopard 2, Mine clearing Leo 2, Bridge layer Leo 2, Buk, AMV, Trucks, etc.

MAZ and BMP-1s were in AN 11, AN 22 and AN 44 (no brown).

I just had a glance at your gallery, well your models are nice too you know ! I especially liked the picture of your KV1M outside, looks good ! Carry on !

Merci Richard! ; ) I'm do scale models only for one year.

Welcome Richard! Your planes are very impressive! My favourite of them is Heinkel He-111. I don't know anything of these tanks because I am airplane modeller. Put some pictures to gallery please. :)
