Hello all,

It's time for me to wrap up my Tamiya Marder 1A2. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/105063-tamiya-35162-spz-marder-1a2

I have a couple of questions.
1. What color would the nylon accessories have? (Backpacks etc)
2. As the only non-oob accessory I'd like to replace the antennas. Which one would be appropriate? Maybe this one? http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Military_Models_135/Accessories/PE/Metal_parts/other/German_2m_standard_antenna_set_i66_34387_0.htm
3. What would be the appropriate color on the Milan system and its mount? (The tank is in 3-tone nato)

Have a great day!

The large bags are for camo nets and are painted in Gelboliv. Rucksacks should be painted in a faded OD. For the antennas I recommend either Schatton Modellbau

or
Leopard Club

The MILAN can be painted in Bronzegrün, maybe with a Gelboliv
launch tube.
