I have a question concerning my Panther D Kit. Were the smoke grenade launcher canisters..or what ever the correct term for them are, painted the same color as the tanks basecoat or were they another color? I haven't found much pics on the web to use for a reference in painting them.Maybe someone else who has built this Dragon Kit can tell me. Thanks

The "tubes" would have been painted the same colour as the tank they were mounted on, they contained a replaceable grenade round that was fired from within the vehicle by means of an electrical switch.

HTH.
