Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone had any idea what colour ex German tanks were painted in Chech service after the war.

Cheers Mike

The Hetzer were Repaint in a khaki brown Yellow and Green but after 1950 they were repaint a Greyish green khaki after there next repair trip as for German armor Its likely similar as the Panther and Panzer iv were repair and refitted for service but by 1953ish they were depot'd as T-34/85 were brought in.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for that, was a very nice link too, I am hoping to find something on the Stugs they used, but think the greyish green could be a starting point.
Cheers Mike
