Names of camouflage
« on: August 06, 2006, 12:12:18 »
I know that all camouflage's have different names and countrys of origin but is there a website that lists the names of them?
I believe this is Urban Camo


Thanks in advance

The picture is a trendy version (i.e it's not military but just 'made up') of urban style using similar colours.

Arctic is white (because UK & US Forces use that description) former Soviet or Scandanavian Forces have slightly different.

If you want true urban it's only 3 colours:- white, grey and black.

If you are painting it on a Landy then be careful to get the DP pattern right. If you don't it will simply look like a cows arse  :D

Also, think about your insurance aspect. Painting your Landy to make it disapear from view on purpose could increase your premium!  :wink:

Back in the 80's when I were a young single squaddie... the British Army in Germany experimented with an urban cam for armour (Tanks). Don't think it took off but it was a bit like a cubist painting... overlapping rectangles of various kinds.

Can't find an example of it sadly.

Yeah... WWI batleships were painted in "Dazzle" which tended to be black and white in large and diverse stripes. See the pics for examples.

Which influenced 'Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark' for an album (had a similar design on the cover, if memory serves me correctly?
