Digital Camouflage and Card Models

This is one of the cases where paper modeling has some considerable advantage in comparison to plastic modeling. This is recreation of so called digital camouflages. The digital camouflage is capable to jam not only the human visual reception, but the target acquisition as well. It adds high frequency noise to the viewer reception tract by adding some small patterns over the large ordinary camouflage patterns. They can be set of squires /pixel style camouflage/ or more complicated figures with hexagonal or irregular shape. Painting such camouflage on the model is a real challenge. But it is very easy to paint it on plain paper and then to build the model, giving only the necessary shape of the model’s parts and glue them together.

You can see the 1/32 e-build paper kit that represents the military version of DAR-27 Spector of the two seater ultra light DAR’s Scooter as border patrol aircraft in Bulgarian Air Forces service.

And the illustration how effective the digital camouflage can be.

One more view of e-build 1/32 DAR 21 Vector 2 and DAR 27 Spector card models.

You can download the DAR 21 for free from http://www.papermodels.co.il/
The Spector will be in its place in the formation also as free card model kit.

Enjoy.
