Hi guys! What color should I use for my Flak? I'll be putting it in a diorama, a barn should do. The location is in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge. Should I go for the dark grey then add a whitewash? Do they still whitewash the Flak even it is inside the barn?

I believe that all German equipment made after 1943 was dark yellow. There is a article on German colors on the diorama page that could help you out a little more. I'm pretty sure that late war gear had red primer under dark yellow paint. The stuff that did get a camo job was a dark red and green over the yellow. Hope this helps.

That article on German colors is on the armor page not the diorama page. Sorry for the mix up. Thats what I get for trying to think before coffee

Yep! I saw it! Thanks for the info!!

I agree with wolfsix. After 1943 equipment was painted 'commonly' with the dark yellow. One of my flaks above

Here's a color scheme they used in Band of Brothers in that very same area you are talking about.
