I'm researching markings for a build with the intention of marking the model as a vehicle of the 6th Panzer Regiment, 3rd Panzer Division. Before making up my own templates for the markings I had a quick cast around for decals through the usual main names and found this set :

These are however listed as being markings for the 4th Panzer Division though they include the bear emblem and shield associated with the 3rd.
Can anyone clarify for me if the 4th also used the bear ( I can find no reference to it ) and the shield or if these are actually markings for the 3.Pz.Div. Unfortunately I've been unable to locate a clear image of what exactly the Echelon decals are.

I do know at one point the 3rd used false markings including the inverted Y with three strokes which is a 4.Pz.Div. marking instead of their own ( inverted Y with two strokes ).

Looks like they made a mistake in the naming of the decal sheet. Most if not all of the vehicles on the instruction sheet are 3rd Panzer vehicles. They even include the specific 6th Panzerregiment shields.

Yeah I came to that conclusion too after noting the 6.Pz.Reg shield on the righthand side. Rather moot now as I decided to get a set from Archer as they had a couple of others I figured I'd get while I was there.
