Tru-Color Paint is looking for any help we can get on getting the correct colors for German AFV's used in WWII. Information on all the color schemes on all types of vehicles wanted - particularly Panzer and all other German tanks. All years of WWII are of interest to us.

The information will be used to make accurate paint colors for release in late 2018. If anyone has information or wants to help develop the colors for this area of WWII models please contact us via this thread, call or email us. We look forward to anyone supplying data that we can use or pointing us in the right direction.

We realize that color chips would be nearly impossible to obtain, but if anyone has a paint color or colors that is considered "accurate", we would be interested in knowing about it (them). It is possible that we could send some plastic scraps or polystyrene sheet material to anyone to paint a swatch for us to match. Just send us details of what you have and your address for us to send materials for you to paint.

A good source might be the Patton museum in Ft Benning or Bovington tank museum in England. When they restore a vehicle they take it apart. The paint that is exposed between two surfaces that were bolted together is probably as close as it gets. I would think relying on one us to mix together the right color is a a risky solution if accuracy is to be a selling point.
