That was the one, which had received a coat of B.A.K.P. 20 paint before being sent to Berlin. Thus: Medium green, red brown and clay yellow in large dapples.

I personally failed to distinguish the three coloured camo.

There is only one link, and it is very much alive.

It's a little hard to make out but I think it shows best in the profile view of the Whippet. There's a patch of lighter colour near the cab top and the front of the track horn.

 P.S.: Not the fingerprint on the front horn but ahead of that.

G'day to everyone.
M.Hansen might be right, whats bothering me is the iron cross behind the scull.
The side bars seem overpainted while the top one remains intact (the side ones are barely
discernible but still there).
Before being deployed to Berlin the Whippet was clearly painted with a soft edged three tone
camo.Judging from the cross, it did recieve an overpaint of some sought, can't be sure if it
was applied overall. Maybe it retained the camo on the lower surfaces, then again the demarcation is hard not soft(could be just weathering), just my two cents of pure guesswork.
I finished mine a couple of months ago in overall field-grey. I'll post some pics as soon as I
can.
Freikorpsman, finish it either way, its your choice and I'm sure it will look nice.
Cheers.
