Did the mobelwagon ever have an ambush scheme? I don't know if they did the only camo in the instructions is the spaghetti kind and it's an unknown unit so i don't know if they were this rare that there aren't many photos of it. i'm gonna go check acthung panzer right now for more pics.

John,
Yes, photos of mobelwagens are rare. None are known with Ambush and I would really doubt that it was used on these late war raritites.

I'm with Paul on this one... all my references show them with just the standard three-tone camo. I couldn't find a picture of one with the "ambush" pattern. That isn't to say that they DIDN'T have it, just that I kinda doubt it.
As far as units go... I know that 9th SS "Hohenstauffen" had three in their Pz.Flak-Abt., along with a Sd.Kfz. 10/4 during their operations in and around Arnhem during Market-Garden. These were all painted in the standard three-tone camo, with no unit markings whatsoever. Just the national crosses on the side armor.

Thanks guys, I painted the 3-tone camo last night with my new aztek (compliments of dad ) I'm putting it on the shelf for a while so I can get working on Operation Cover-up and the TD group build
