About product

The camouflage of Hungarian armor

During the Second World War the Hungarian army used a conspicuous three-color pattern of green, sand and brown on its vehicles. It was carried by machines of domestic design, that is the Turan medium tanks, the light Toldi, the Zrinyi self-propelled guns and the Nimrod anti-aircraft vehicles, and the pattern is among the most striking that appeared in the Europe of that time.

Base and lightening in pairs

The lineup is built differently from an ordinary palette. For each of the three tones it also holds a lightened counterpart, so three pairs arise. The base is applied overall, and the lighter tone then only in the middle of the larger surfaces and on the upper edges, where daylight would fall.

  • The green base and its lightened counterpart
  • The sand base and its lightened counterpart
  • The brown base and its lightened counterpart
  • You choose the ratio of the two tones according to how pronounced a lightening you want

Why the surfaces are lightened

A model is many times smaller than a real vehicle and the shadows fall on it differently. The eye therefore perceives a uniformly painted surface as flat and dead. Lightening the centers of the panels evens that difference out and the model begins to come across as though it had real dimensions. That is exactly why the pairing of base and lightening is useful even where one shade would do.

Given that the pattern combined all three colors on one vehicle, a whole column can be built from the lineup without buying further tones.

FAQ

They are applied in the middle of the larger surfaces and on the upper edges. In doing so they even out the difference in how the eye perceives shadows on a small model compared with a real vehicle.

Hungarian armor from the years of the Second World War. It fits the medium and light tanks of domestic design, the self-propelled artillery and the anti-aircraft vehicles.

The base is enough if you want exactly the period shade. The lightening is a building technique whose degree you choose according to how pronounced the result is meant to be.

Yes. The pattern combined green, sand and brown on one machine and all three are represented in the lineup.
