If they are clever they will try to squeeze as many variants as possible out of these molds. I think it will come.

That's pretty much Tiger Model's policy. As a big dazzle-camo fan, I'll wait for the Swedish variant.

Article says they plan on doing the USN version as well. Can't wait to see that version w/a bunch of guns on it.
Here is the USN boxart.

Ahhh! Imagine doing all the masking for that camo ....
All of 18 inches long and over 4 inches wide with plenty of surfaces and details .... Ummmm, pure masochistic pleasure

It is basically the old MERDC camo, so not really any different than applying it to a tank or APC.

Size Matters
In case anyone told you differently ....
MERDC on an M113 which is less than 5 inches long or the boat which is approximately 4.3 inches wide .....

Seen a test build of this at Sprue Fest 2018 last Saturday. Looks really good, and the perfect size for 1/35 boat - not much bigger then an MBT.
