The Panzer IV :: My Picks

There seems to be a small error in some kits…

The air intake had 2 slats at first, it only went to 1 slat with the Ausf.D.

The diagrams are cross-sections.

Am I mistaken, is the fire extinguisher a pale green? Is this a known color in Wehrmacht use or the color of commercially available extinguishers in the 30’s? What is the significance of the yellow rectangle on the rear hull plate and a horizontal one on the turret? Are the handles on the wire cutter black? I have heard that they were a rusty orange in other places and made of cardboard or bakelite, so why the choice of black? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I painted the fire extinguisher light grey,
The yellow rectangle is a decal, I followed the instructions, and there’s a yellow rectangle at the back, and also on the turret sides.
The wire cutters I painted them Metallic black, Iforgot about the handles, I usually paint them red brown
