Thanks Alec!
I fully agree with you-both kits: AFV Clubs FlaK 88/18 and PlusModel's Pavesi P.4-100 offer splendid rendition of detail.
I don't see much contribution from my side-besides strictly following the instructions and having fun.
A lot of fun!
🙂

Hi Angel,
Missed this Album. Don't know how. 🤔
Did they use different colours in the Bulgarian army equipment?
Can you enlighten me about that?

Hi Rui!
Till the late 1930's vehicles were received in the colour/s of the supplying country.
For example-the CV3/33 and the Pavesi were delivered painted in Italian Dark Green, the Vickers E carried the multicoloured British camouflage from the 1930's e.t.c.
With deliveries shifting to Germany, vehicles received were in the standard colour for the Wehrmacht(Panzergrau, later Dunkelgelb)or their derivatives, providing there was not specific painting stipulated in the purchase contract.
Thus there were vehicles from same type & make, but in different colours due to different delivery batches.Some Sd.Kfz.7's were delivered in Panzergrau, others in Dunkelgelb.
It was a rule of thumb to keep original paint as long as it was in good shape-once it deteriorated, the vehicle was re-painted in Dark Bulgarian Green.
To sum it up:
Pre- and during WWII times Bulgarian Army had equipment in different colours.
After 1945 all equipment was re-painted Dark Green.
Hope this helps 🙂
