What particular vehicle do you want to model? Maybe the forum's swarm intelligence can help?

There are lots of pics of the front and sides taken from ground level but no rear shots or top views. All are BW photos which is reasonable for the period, so I have some artistic license on colour. If anyone has some pics of the Polish combatants would be nice too.

You might have more luck searching for Czech insurgents, being in Prague and all.
Concerning the Hetzers, both BMM and Skoda used 3 colour factory camo schemes over red primer, so anything inbetween might fit.

The Poles have a long tradition of being suppressed by the Prussians and the Russians while the Czech have a long tradition of being suppressed by the Austrians. Big difference

Re: Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer "Prague 1945"
Finally got back to the workbench today after a huge week at work.
I undercoated in Chaos Black, then a coat of German field grey, then a coat of hair spray, then "blue grey" and chipping. It is meant to look like scale on raw steel but didn't quite come out how I wanted. Close enough however
I've then gone to town with multiple shades of rust as washes and streaks. Looks like an F#*@ing mess at the moment
Once the oils have had a chance to dry for a couple of days I'll hit it with hairspray again and airbrush on some light rust from the AK set and then chip/fade that.
I'm following the instructions in Adam Wilders book, hoping it will look like freshly rusted steel when I'm finished, something like this,
That's the plan anyway

Keep the faith Adam
it will work, as Adam shows
It is all about layer upon layer upon layer
And time, which is why many don't even try, it takes so long!
Good start
Regards

A bit more work on this today. Over the week I added more layers of oils and a bit of "mapping" with thinned acrylics from the AK rust set. Today I sprayed a few layers of chipping effects then a few shades of rust keeping it light then water and chipping away!
I've also started picking out details. Since the pics I've done a pin wash and also started adding some rust streaking.
Plan is to finish up with the streaking and oils then blend it a bit with pigments.
