    I have to check.But it seems that it wasn't common to use unit emblems.But I remember the Africa Corps vehicles with the swastik and a palm as the emblem of this Corps.

    The last one pics shows these vehicles painted with the Panzer Grau colour.I think it could be somewhere in France 1940.

    Arg. That's true. I want to be like towards the end of the war which color represents the Dark Yellow color towards the end of the war. Just out of curiosity what color would Panzer Grau color be listed as in stores?


    Edit: On the second picture what creates the muddy look on the tires? Looks like a Red-Brown mix?

    I don't catch your question about the Panzer Grau colour. Could you explain, please?

    concerning the helmet on the Blitz door , I found out that it was a truck of 503rd schwere Heeres Panzer Abteilung.

    Below the Blitz in Italy 1944...source unknown

    Oh thanks Wurger.

    My questions are

    The Panzer Grau paint scheme is the early war paint scheme. I was wondering if I went to a store to buy that color paint what color would it be listed as Panzer Grau or another color?

    The next question is on the second photo. I see a color seeing to imitate mud on the tires and wheel well I was wondering if that's just flat brown or a red-brown mix?

    Thanks!!

    The helmet on the door of the Blitz is that a decal or something else?

    My apologies for firing so many questions at you....

    Oh... now I understand. The second question wasn't seen by me at all.I think it is my IE fault.

    For the Panzer Grau colour you have the paint equivalents in #10.

    And the second one....I'm sure it is a kind of mixture of red and brown paints.But it can be a rust paint too.Also it could be the later German brown RAL 8012. I think it doesn't matter because if it would have been the imitation of a mud .....it is wrong totally.This is an example of the bad made weathering.

    Panzer Grau Q: I am wondering if I went to a store because I want to paint my truck the Panzer Grau Color, what would the color be listed as? Panzer Grau or another name? If I still confuse you, i'm terribly sorry!

    Okay nevermind hehehe.

    Most likely my final question of the day before I'm off to explore Norht Carolina is what is a good imitation of mud for tires? And what do you mean by the equivalents? Lke if I'm going to a store would it be listed under the name Panzer Grau paint or something else?

    It's OK.... Humbrol named the colour Satin US Dark Grey or Satin Dark Sea Grey, MadelMaster's name - Gunship Grey or Schwarzgrau and Tamiya - Dark Grey. All paints should be semi-gloss.Asking about them in a shop you need to know the name of firm and the paint number.Or you can use the Federal Standard ( FS) numbers or RAL ones.There should be lists of these paints and a salesman should know them.

    Equivalent means that something can be used as the thing you need.

    Concerning the mud ..I have seen a few ways but which one could be good. I don't know really.There is offered a mud for modellers It is offered by MIG firm.

    Instead of Plaster of Paris for mud would this work?

    Woodland Scenics Mold-A-Scene Plaster 1/2 Gallon

    I can't find it on any other sites that i've bought from.
