Flecktarn

Fleckentarn, “spot camouflage”

The real German Bundeswehr five-colour spot pattern, recreated with my own layout: trialled in 1976 and issued from 1990, its clumps of small angular flecks break up shape at any distance.

A real pattern rebuilt from its structure, with my own layout.

How the stencils paint

Painting tips

Always paint in this order: base, then stencils 1, 2, 3 and 4.
No RAL colour matches the bright Flecktarn light green exactly. RAL 6021 is the closest common one; a “Flecktarn light green” hobby spray is closer if you can find it.
Tropentarn has only three colours: spray stencils 3 and 4 in the base sand.
The flecks are small: spray straight on and keep coats light, so the edges stay crisp.

Safety and maker

Spray paint outdoors or with good ventilation, and wear a mask and gloves.
Keep paint and small stencil offcuts away from children. Not a toy.
Clean the stencils with water or a mild solvent; TPU does not like acetone.
