Building a Tamiya Kubelwagen in 1943 Russia and was wondering what colour schemes I could do. I am guessing I could do grey, maybe yellow or either with a white wash. Did they have camo Kubelwagens in Russia in 1943? Does any one have some paint charts/schemes they could show me? Keen to start painting just trying to work out colours.
Thanks

When exactly in 1943? Russia or the USSR? Winter or summer? Wehrmacht or WSS? Any particular unit and/or location?

By that time frame Dunkelgelb would be appropriate. Whitewash would obviously be okay. There is also a possibility of have a gray finish as the yellow base came into effect about the same time, and not all vehicles constructed prior had been repainted yet. So really, you're pretty safe either way.

Trying to find some cool colour schemes print outs I know I have seen them somewhere. Think I saw one with overall grey and then with white or yellow stripes.
