It's interesting how difficult it was to nail down something as recent and ubiquitous as Dunkel Gelb.
History is hard.

Assembly ships. No, I hadn't heard of them before, either.   |

Basically, they were often crews who needed 1 or more mission before theor tour of duty was up, but too shellshocked to go, so acting as an assembly craft counted as a mission.
Bright and colourful.
I painted one for a mate once, as he had spares from Tumbling Dice!

Thanks FSN! Love the film footage of the 1940's French. You could definitely see the various camo schemes on hte vehicles - oh to have seen it in color!!!

Too many German vehicles and not enough Allied ones? Another variation for WW2 modellers/gamers to consider ... |

A brilliant blend of an actual recording of a Lancaster crew made in 1943 during a raid on Berlin linked up with some good VR technology: https://www.youtube.com/embed/oiaPwpH7NGcWorth Watching  |
