What is the best color in TESTORS MODEL MASTER ACRYLIC COLORS
what are the codes also how do you take apart a 1/18 HANOMAG?
Also did the Germans paint the tracks on the north Africa front?

What markings should be one a north Africa SDKFZ. 251/1 HANOMAG...
or what would pass for authentic markings??????

BTW I know the back-end is not right for a DAK SDKFZ. 251/1
