LOL, and I only thought this happened with flat pack furniture.

Did the paint guide come with a number guide? If so this site may help

Hi again if it is the hanomag then xf63 or german grey is the main hull colour for the figures you want german field grey, not sure of the XF number but the revell paint number is 62.

If the half track is 3 tone camouflage then you need XF60 DARK YELLOW, XF61 DARK GREEN AND GERMAN CAMOUFLAGE RED BROWN SORRY CAN'T REMEMBER THE XF NUMBER FOR THIS. if you need anymore help send me a message, hope this helps.

Hi again ok seats and benches the frame work of the seats and benches i have painted the hull colour as for the padding i have mixed camouflage red brown with revell number26 until you are happy with the colour mix.

Here is a tip if you are painting the hull colour in the three colour camouflage sceme then mix matt white and matt black enamel paint in a 50-50 mix and you have the colour for chipping the paint work, if you need a visual reference have a look at my gallery page as i have a hanomag and a stuka zu fus version on my gallery page. If you need any more help send me another message i'd be happy to help and talk you through it if you need, i hope this helps.
