| Subject: | Primer Red Hetzers? Need info. |  |
| Date: | May 14, 2002 |
| From: | Yuchung Wang | |
Hello T-L,
I am new to Hetzers. I usually build Panzers, and only recently took
interest in Sturmartillarie and Panzerjaegers. I have a DML Jagd/Flamm
Hetzer (mid) sitting around, and I wish to build it. There is recent
controversy that the mid-production Hetzers were painted in bright red
primer. What gives?
The DML recommendation is that these Hetzers should be painted more or less
with a base coat of panzergrau. I personally would prefer the Hetzer painted
in panzergrau, as it looks better.
1.) How would one mix a good representative of German red primer?
2.) The green over-sprays on the base coat on these Hetzers look kinda OD to
me. Do Germans use captured allied paints?
3.) Are the lighter stripes cream/white or actually dunkelgelb (dark
yellow)?
4.) Would the roadwheels be left in the primer coats or actually painted?
These are alot of questions. But thanks for helping out (in any ways
possible)! |
