I do know that the 3rd AD used this tank. With that, I also know that the 3rd AD had painted black bands on OD as their "standard" camo pattern.
Now, I have seen the Super Pershing painted in a sand color over OD - in a painting and on the scale model, and have read about the SP being painted in the typical 3rd AD's pattern - black over OD.
Does anyone know which is correct? Sand over OD or black over OD?
TIA
