Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. From my previous video, you will have seen that I am currently working on a new project for Bolt Action – Polish Airborne Brigade. One of the things that has historically put me off attempting British/Polish Airborne has been the camouflaged denison smocks. Painting camouflage is not something that I am terribly confident doing but over the last year I have been trying to improve this area of my painting.

Before starting my Airborne, I did a fair amount of research by watching other people’s videos and guides and also looking at historical reference material until I was fairly comfortable with how I wanted the scheme to be painted. After painting a handful of figures, I am actually quite happy with how these are looking so I thought that I would make a short video to outline the paints and process that I use when painting Airborne camouflage.

This is not really a tutorial but really just an outline of how I paint Airborne camouflage. Hopefully it will show that it’s not as terrifying as I initially thought and will give people ideas and pointers on painting their own Airborne.

The eagle eyed among you will notice that I forgot to paint the entrenching tool and water bottle holder. Please be assured these have now been painted :D
