In search of alternative camo the Fuhrer looked to "modern" artists to produce something new and unique along the lines of WW1's Lozenge camo's. Knowing little of his work at the time they hired Jackson Pollock to create for them and let him go at a Ju-87.



Acht, someone get him a proper set of military paints



He was promptly fired from his job and they sent a poor errand boy to run and look through some old lockers to see if there was some of there were still some rolls of Lozenge camo there... (WIP)

That's pretty cool, I had never seen that before. that is a shame it didn't get further, seems interesting. Maybe a future project thumbsup

The more I look at that Stuka the more i realize, with some proper colors on it it might be darn near impossible to see

In a twist, the British government later hired the French abstract artist to produce dazzle camo for ships.
