Hi guys!
i am currently building trumpeter italian centauro. What color should the tools be? I searched in the net but found no close pic of the vehicle to verify this. I also looked at built models, some paint wood color at the handle and metal color at the metal parts, and some also paint it same as the vehicle color which is green. Can someone enlighten me of the matter? Thanks

Both Spanish and Italian versions in the Auriga Publishing booklet "Blindo Armata Centauro" show the tools painted the exterior color.

It could be for UN service the tools were removed from the vehicle before being painted white.

It's a bit hard to tell, but it looks like they're not tinted....
