I was reading and article on missing lynx about an interesting late-war german camo scheme. I am sure you are all damn sick of all these newby armor modelers asking questions about latewar german camo schemes, but I just have to know. It says in November '44-but not take full effect until June '45- that all armor were to be painted at the factory with a base coat of Dunkelgrun, and with areas of Dunkelrot and Dunkelgelb in sharp contrasts. I have read post talking about the red primer with other darkgreen and darkyellow areas being the most likely latewar scheme, does anyone know or have seen any documentation that this scheme was ever applied to any vehicles?
Thanks

But when Waffenpreuf wrote the order in 44 they didn't know that.
