Hi Karl ...Almost if not all Wespe were base painted Dark yellow ,so I'd go dark yellow under the whitewash.

Karl, although ordered in Feb '43, the order to paint all new vehicles in Dunkelgreb never actually came into effect until April, and the first Wespe was produced in February, so quite a few were actually Panzer grey, and this looks so much better with whitewash cam than yellow.....
