Title: Henschel HS-123 A-1 for the SCW - how to paint?
Post by: traveller on 11 July 2009, 03:34:02 PM: I have just built a Italeri 1:48 Henschel HS-123. Great kit that has a very cool Interwar look about it. I plan to use it for the Spanish Civil War together with Anglian miniatures but I have not been able to find the paint scheme used by the Legion Kondor in Spain. Any help out there?

-Dunkelbraun
-Grün
-Grüngrau
-Hellblau
Are you sure the photo is from Spain?
