I wouldn't go for Panzer Grey,Gerry.Being a "Neu" version it would have most likely a Panzer Yellow base coat,with or without additional green and/or brown camo colors.Ofcourse a White Washes vehicle would be cool as well!
Gr,Ron.

Thanks Ron ..... Your comment made me goo n the net to check some things ..... Out I hadn't given any thought to Historical accuracy ..... so there were some of these across the river so to speak ....some of the commanders were Freiherr von Manteuffel & Karl Lorenz in May 1944 ..... This APC is going to be included with the Eastern front Dio .. Panzer Grenadier Division Großdeutschland .. that I' attempting to make so for accuracy I wanted to get the right colors as they were just crossing the river to the new place. I'm not much of a WWII war buff But I did want this Dio to be believable as there will be lots of people scrutinizing it and I've seen them at the shows ....... let's just say they cant' see the work for the mistakes .... which I would be trying to keep to a minimum ..... so greyish-green camo with some white brushed here & there .... it is .....
Box art ......
I'm thinking like this .....

Ok Dave now I'm getting Input ..... from you now being banished to the Eastern front was considered a punishment of such .... in Hogan's Hero's ... so now if it is a river crossing to the new command post on the other side of the river (Eastern Front) would that be winning ??? advancing .... or retreating .... :hmmm

I believe that vehicle was a late war model and would have been the sand color probably with the green and brown camo colors.
The shape of the nose with the sharp angles and simple construction dates it as late war. The destruction sheet should give some dates and locations with the paint schemes.

Ok I think I've made up my mind ..... the Halftrack will be the color of the Box art ..... but I plan to place a P VI up on the hill guarding the river crossing it will be camo'd in the winter scheme I really like those colors ..... that way it would be the incoming and the already there I think .....ldguy Oh I forgot the halftrack will be on the other bank waiting to cross the river ...... :coolio

I would go with the German Yellow as a minimum. Cam would be applied in the field and red brown and or dark green would be used, with the whitewash in the winter. If doing the whitewash it would wear pretty quick.
Also it would depend on the unit how it was applied.

Nope, I would differ to James. Go Yellow. :drinks
Thanks James & Ed ..... I needed to make this believable ..... were there any commanders who were sent to the Eastern Front ??? .....
I think Colonel Klink was ordered there several times but, always got a reprieve. And ol' Schultzie did too...
