Any thoughts on matches for the tri-color camo in use when the Germans invaded Czechoslovakia. I'm pondering options for a vz 37 AT gun.

A 3 colour green, red brown and sand scheme seems to have been used, in broad patches. Google 3,7cm KPUV vz. 37 for pic, though no period colour ones I could see.

Maybe this could help?

A Czech model builder told me that the C20P is a good match for modern Czech "green". I don't know anything about the other colours though ...

I was about to suggest Agama too. They're about the only people who make Czech-specific colours, and they are Czech.
I've got some Agama paints and I think they're fine, especially for the price. Screw-top jars are a little old-fashioned.
I generally get mine from Jadar Hobby in Warsaw. Not because I've got anything against the Agama shop but I get lots of other stuff from Jadar, who I have found over several years to be utterly reliable. At the moment they have the Agama range discounted to $1.27 inc EU sales tax. I suspect this is because Agama now have their own shop: Jadar used to be their sole distributor.

What CP numbers would be correct for a vz 37? I might give the Agama paints a try. How do they work with a brush. The other option I am looking into one used by 7th SS or 8th SS, if I can find evidence of them using the gun,and what paint job. (panzer grey or 3 tone )
