Henschel HS-123 A-1 for the SCW - how to paint?

[traveller]

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?

Interesting! Included in the box were painting schemes for France 1940 with the same pattern as in the photo. Colours should then be:
-Dunkelbraun
-Grün
-Grüngrau
-Hellblau
Are you sure the photo is from Spain?

Definately Spain, possibly one of the first batch of five sent? It has Condor Legion roundels on the wings too.

Great! I also got it confirmed on TMP

It never occurred to me that they would have a summer and a winter camouflage. You learn something every day.
