I can see the hobby shops and online suppliers having a shortage of metallic paints :-)

Thanks for sharing. I would hate to try and sew a unit patch on the shoulder of that!

Hilarious. :-) But seriously, the Bundeswehr is testing a new cam pattern to replace Flecktarn. Haven't seen it yet, but no more spots, I'm told!
