Does anyone have pics or links to stugs in Sicily? I am not sure about the dragon interpretation for my F/8. Thanks in advance.

I hate auto correct on tablets :bang head :bang head :bang head :bang head :bang head
 
Found this one James.It's from the Hermann Göring division on Sicily 1943.

Many if not all would have been painted dark yellow as that was the factory base coat at the time. Camo was added if any in the field with little of no army standard enforced, however it seems that the most used colors were olive green and red brown. This can be seen even on vehicles in North Africa so there is no reason to believe the practice was continued when the fighting shifted to Sicily and Italy. Most of the pictures I found were solid dark yellow. I think however the Dragon box art would be fairly accurate.

Thanks guys. The cam seems to be blockier on the Goring machines but I am having a heck of a time finding good shots to get a better feel. Unfortunately all the ones you posted Terry are G models and there are tons of pics of those. I guess if pics are hard to find no one will be able to fault my interpretation. Will start tomorrow. Today I finished painting the rubber on the wheels and adding a wash to the wheels. Also painted and attached the gun shield. Tomorrow to weather the rear idler and the drive sprocket.
Thanks Mike, Ron and Terry for the help and suggestions.
James
