Which Vallejo paints would you suggest to paint SCW guns ?
- original Spanish
- USSR supplied
- Germany supplied

Any suggestions appreciated.
BTW I have Painting War book about SCW and checked Miniarons website, but I would like to know TMP members oppinion.

So far it seems that:
- prewar pieces were painted stone grey (gris piedra)
- Soviets were green of unknown shade
- German were either standard Wehrmacht three colours camuflage of monochromatic (there is a photo showing 3.7cm Pak without camouflage, but in b/w)

I have seen colour film of Nationalist forces in northern Spain 1938

Howitzer is grey overpainted with rust brown patches.
French 75mm is dark green overall with spoked cart wheels in buff.

I am interested in German equipment including trucks and guns but details are elusive.
