Guys
Im sitting here at my desk working on the interior of my Marder III (M). I just realized that Im not sure what color to paint the face of my radio set. The instructions say to paint the face Tamiya color XF-56 and Im not sure what color that is. Its too late to call my buddy at the hobby shop so can anyone tell me what color that is???

Grey, but not metallic, is the order of the day. Check these real German AFV radios
