Hi,

Was the driver’s compartment of early war Panzer Grau Sdkfz 251 half-tracks painted Elfenbein or Panzer Grau.

Just talking about the forward driver’s compartment not the passenger area.

Tried looking at walkarounds but they have all been dark yellow - in those the driver’s compartment is dark yellow but I wonder whether that was because that was a light enough colour any way.

Cheers,

Nigel

Driver's compartment on early 251 Ausf A was efelbein, not sure if some Ausf B as well. Later models were completely in the same colour of the hull and interior, either grey or yellow.

Cool, thanks for the info. Mine is a C, all grey then, makes it easier - it is only a 28mm wargaming model.

Cheers,
