As a personal note, I find odd that the Spanish Civil War set includes Dunkelgelb, which was introduced in 1943 -i.e. four years after the war ended- and no colours for the Buntfarbenanstrich that was used for many German vehicles fighting in Spain.

I have to agree with Carlos. The inclusion of Dunkelgrau and 4BO it is also "extrange" to say the least. 3B and Buntfarbenanstrich included it could have been an impressive set to anyone with interest in SCW armor...
