HI all, Im building this cool Wirbelwind from Tamiya, seems to be very few references how to paint it, anyone knows where you can find more reference like full painting schemes or authentic pictures?

Not much there, but try www.achtungpanzer.com/flak4.htm Regards,Rob

Found one picture, at the link below...

Here is the only picture that I have. It's not real clear but you can make out the basic pattern.

Hi Corporal Stene, try these links.

I've tried to put it in as a link but if not just copy and paste it. All the best with them.
Cheers, Kenny.

While having an exact pattern to replpicate is always good, there were no formal guidelines for German camo during WWII as there were for MERDC. I think Squadron's D-Day to Berlin has a pattern of Dunkelgelb with bunny ear rotbrun splotches outlined in dunkelgrun.

Heres another reference
