Thanks Tom. It is mighty dark. I don't think I'm anywhere close to a final treatment on the paint, still got lots of stuff on the outside to add.

Let's dig up ol' Sven's article about painting Panzer Grey
https://www.modelersalliance.com/component/content/article?id=149:panzergrey-anybody

Looks like we lost a couple of images but we still get the point.

Thank you Warren, plans for a marathon session fell on it's face today.

 

[moon puppy]

Well here are the pictures I've been trying to post for the last couple of days.. :frantic

I dig that you can build this with the doors working. Tricky assembly but worth the time invested. :geek

Tricky area to get in and sand, lots to fill in there. I guess different versions has stuff stowed up in that corner.

Instructions calls for the fire extinguisher to be mounted on one of the doors, color call out says red. I know that ain't right, what color should it be?

 

[TomN]

No, definitely not red, my wife even points them out to me at model shows.

I would go with a greenish grey color, could maybe go with your panzer grey,
but this would pop out a bit more.

Nice...

Got any of them cool Archer transfers for it?

Tom

 

[moon puppy]

No transfers for German stuff, I got some US Armor stuff but that'll kinda stick out won't it.

Thanks Mats, I'll check my greys, think I got it.

Of all the details that could be discussed it always will come down to the fire extinguisher. That's why I paint mine red. Just to piss people off.

Nice reference pic's!

Nice one MP

Vallejo German Field Grey - used it before a few times, once dry it's lighter. Applied pigments on some models, made it look even better (I think)

Archer has free shipping this month.

On a quick Google search there is a number of colors it could be. From gray, gray/green, blue/gray, German yellow and even red. So everyone has good advise
