I'm building Zvezda's model, and would like to use an unique, strange, non-conventional camo on it. (If it was a Panther I'd go with a French one.)

Can anyone suggest something funky?

Maybe not the funkiest camo scheme around :

Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H/J of l'Escadron Autonome de Chars Besnier (FFI), Saint-Nazaire area, France, February-March 1945 :





Another one (from the same unit) that may be a better match :

Andras, which of their kits is it?

Third one down is quite interesting.



Also not done that often is the hand painted in the field types (everyone likes their airbrush, and rough hand painted ones are hard to get to look right) and then those ones where the dark yellow is almost completely obliterated by sprayed green. There is a well known photo like that, don't have it to hand right now.

From Kagero's Panzer IV book. Dark Yellow covered in short brush strokes of green and brown.
