Hi everyone
I'm getting back into the hobby after a long break.
So I pulled out an old kit I started years back its dragons kit no 6284 sd.kfz. 251/2 ausf.c mit wurfrahmen 40 3n1
Its half finished, and I have forgotton where i was in the build so I've being catching up on some research.
painted the interior sand fs33531 from model master I hope that's ok ?
The kit says 500th strm panzer warsaw 1944 I'm thinking of using the rocket launchers that came with the it.
I'm wondering what camo pattern was used?
any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi Thomas,
Great to hear you're getting back to the hobby. Been there,done that, bought a T-shirt...
Look a photo below (click to enlarge):
It's from the Warsaw Uprising 1944. The vehicle is probably painted in Dunkelgelb (German Dark Yellow).
An easy scheme, but a good warm-up before taking up something harder. Do you use airbrush?

Good move. It seems that the only rust still present is on your vehicle but not on the skills. Welcome back!!!
