Please do ignore the type writting error, besides still I want advice on how to paint the A.C.!
Whatever you want, they came in huge variety of colour schemes. Factory finish would be the famous "Feldgrau" (with all the implications that means). In early 1918 they were employed on the eastern front, where initially most vehicles still look monochrome, but there's one photo of a car in Russia in Buntfarben-Splinter camouflage and a short film clip showing one with a flame-pattern camouflage. Most platoons then moved to the western front in summer 1918, where Buntfarben was the regular thing by then. One Ehrhardt with Kokampf shows remnants of a dapple pattern in 1919. This vehicle is seen in black hue with skulls and crossbones at the time of the Kapp-Putsch in 1920. - And other Ehrhardts don't seem to ever have changed from Feldgrau at all.
Thank you, colleague. It opens a wide variety of options. I think I will adopt a hue of field grey, the geen-gray interpretetion one. Markings would be two crosses on doors. AGAIN THANK YOU!
Photos from the finished work has been sent to this page´s gallery.
