I am stumped when it comes to the color I should paint my 88mm Flak gun.

I am doing it from the 3rd SS- Eastern Front, Fall time of year.

I have a small dio idea to, that is why I am asking. I will take part in the fall.

Thanks!

I know in Africa they were Brown and some were Gray. In Eastern Front could be Gray or Yellow depends if they had time to paint it. Plus what year it was 1943 just about everything was Yellow and Red brown , Olive Green. But then again if they had time to paint it
So time is important issue also (++)
