the "hetzer" scheme was introduced long before the end of the war. there
is much debate about what the colors actually were. i think the
circumstantial evidence supports a czech mossy green base color, with
creme and brown shades applied to break up the silhouette. the
appropriate colors in the Humbrol range (prior to scale lightening)
would be #86, #98, and #121. cut #121 with extra amounts of #34 to
lighten the shade - (thanks for Jens Kronvold Fredericksen for these
matches).
i've also seen the hezter scheme (in color!) on a WWII sedan which makes
me certain that the above color choices are correct. in addition to the
hetzer and bergehetzer carrying this scheme, there are photos of it on a
Grille 38(t) Ausf. K (sometimes called Ausf. M). it's also reported to
have been applied to the Steyr 1500.
