AFRIKA KORPS PANZER COLOURS


Recommended Posts

Hi all

just a general inquiry.

I'm currently painting and repainting some old 1/72 scale Afrika Korps panzers and trucks etc.

Problem is finding the right panzer yellow to use is driving me mad!

I've just tried Vallejo 916 sand yellow on a new build Sdkfz and 7 frankly it looks hideous!! Far too yellow

I'm not looking for exact shades and complex weathering finishes etc, just a basic right colour I can standardise on.

Vallejo is preferred but I use Revell and Tamiya as well.

I look forward to your suggestions. Many thanks all.

Best regards

Richard
