I asked this once before Joe, someone told me Olive Drab, whatever OD is. seems to have varied some. Maybe someone can give us a better answer.

On 1943-02-18, it was ordered that all vehicles were to be painted in a base coat Dunkelgelb nach Muster (except for small equipment pieces, which were to retain the former colours). Over this, a camouflage pattern of Olivgrün (an RLM colour), Rotbraun RAL 8017 and Dunkelgelb nach Muster consisting of stripes was to be applied by the maintenance sections, according to the terrain. For this purpose, the paint was delivered as a paste, which could then be thinned with most liquids, and applied. Dunkelgelb nach Muster was later re-named Dunkelgelb RAL 7028, and Olivgrü was re-named Olivgrün RAL 6003.

I suggest you a dark yellow base and over this ,a camo with olive green(american umiform) and brown red,irregular lines or spots.
The choise is yours,

Victor,

I think you misunderstood,
Joe/Leopard2 asked about the seats,the thing you put the bum,ass...'culo' on.

The seat padding[I think]was made of leather or fabric or maybe canvas.


Thanks about telling about the paintschemes anyway,some people will find this informative!

So, if I understand you right I can paint the seat covers either black, leather brown or even field gray?

In the great excuses series by Reconron:...Sorry,I don't have photographic evidence! :laugh:
[But I have seen seat covers in black leather AND greenish fabric,don't know if it was original or postwar]

Maybe someone else could show us the absolute proof in text or pictures..... :hmmm
