Probably been asked before but…
Going to build the newish Tamiya Panzer IV G early in North Africa. Would these have been shipped in the Panzer grey or were they delivered in the desert sand/tropical?
Thanks.
I remember there was a discussion about Afrika Korps colours over on the old forums.
From what I can remember, at some point new build vehicles destined for North Africa were painted at the factory in tropical colours. If that’s the case, a G would fall into that category. Most likely in the RAL8020 and 7027 colours.
I’m currently trying to find some answers and information about the paint schemes as I have a couple of DAK projects. It’s a bit tricky to find answers.
I had a look at the archived site to see if I could find it and add the link, but no luck I’m afraid.
Maybe someone else can provide a bit more information.

Yes on the 8020/7027. The Ausf G started production about two months after they adopted the new color scheme.
