Hi everybody,
I would like to use one of Master Box Skatspieler figures as a DAK mechanic. Is this possible? And what color should the uniform of the figure painted in?
These are the Skatspielers:

I used the figure on the most right, as he doesn't wear a hat.

It depends on the war period - during early period of war in Africa the uniforms used were basicly the same as in Europe front. In the same time, hats of these soldiers suggest mid-war Waffen SS. In North Africa, 1941-43, Panzer troops wore the same basic uniforms as all other DAK soldiers. The only part of the black uniform sometimes retained in the desert was the side cap. Members of the Panzer units wore the wore the olive shoulder straps with pink piping. All arms, Panzer included, wore the conventional Litzen of the German Army on the collar, in blue-grey on tan brown.
All ranks identified their arm of service by pinning the white metal death's-head from their black European collar patches directly to the cloth of the lower jacket lapel.
These death's-heads, and the pink piping on their shoulder straps., were all that distinguished Panzer troopers' tunics from other branches.
I hope that helps.

The tropical shirt was very similar to the field-grey shirt worn in Europe, but as it was intended for frequent use on formal occasions in ‘shirt-sleeve order’ it was of superior finish and manufacture. At this scale it's doubtful if the difference would be noticeable.
The long tropical trousers were also looser than the European equivalent.
