Hi guys! I have DML's Stug III F8 that I want to model as one from the Herman Goering Division in Tunisia in 1942-43. Where they single color, or did they wear a camo scheme? What color(s)? The few reference photos I have aren't clear on this. Also, can anyone recommend good reference material for paint and markings? Thanks.

Most of the HG Stug's were just dark yellow. At least the pics I have seen. The famous pics of the F/8's in the brush painted 3 color dab pattern are in fact part of the Pz, Jg. Abt. of the 14th Luffwaffen felddivision in Norway 1943, not Italy!
