After a quick googling and a pass through the references, I have not been able to find a color picture of the instrument panel of the 250 Neu.

Anyone got a scan or a URL?

Thanks
Mike

I've mentioned before in another thread that if model manufacterors make decals for instument panels for aircraft, why can they not make the same for AFV's (and softskins)? #:-)

Hi Mike-

This is a shot of a 251, rather than a 250. I though this might help a little anyway.



I think this is also a restored vehicle, and not origonal.... so take that for what it is worth :-)

Thanks Jeff, I've got a 'few ' of those in the pile to be part of an IR Kampfgruppe as well.
The 250 has a shorter 'half-panel' and someone sent me one of Ian Sadlers pics.

What is the interior color of the 251? Unless there is a color shift, it appears to be pale green. Weren't open vehicles' interiors painted the same as the exterior, ie. pz. grey, or dark yellow? Which reminds me of another question: were Afrika Korps' open vehicles' interiors also re-painted in desert sand, or left pz. grey?

The color of the floor is what I found quite a few that color. a gray with a greenish tint, well that is what I call it anyway, but with so many found this color, it might have some authenticity to it. Hope this helps.
