Hi,

This is my first introduction to armor and I've got a SdKfz222 to work my way into it with, of course in God's scale.

I want to do a post '43 camo on it, having just built a panzer gray Kubel but I'm having a devil of a time finding sources of pics. Only about 6 so far and they are all tan or gray only.

Anyone know if there were camo versions (surely there were) but I'm totally ignorant in this field, unitl now I've only built aircraft.

Thanks,
Donovan

Donovan, To be honest, the only photo refs I saw of this vehicle were in either Panzer Grey or Desert Yellow. I had a look around and coundn't find a "camo" 222. Doesn't mean they didn't have it, though.

Hey thanks a lot folks! The Missing-Links thread is exactly what I needed. That coupled with some restored shots some other folks sent me and I'm on the way!

I really appreciate the help into my first armor build.

I know this won't be the last.

Cheers,
Donovan
