Christophe is correct in that few 251 C's would have made it to late in the
war. If they had, the color would have been the dunkelgelb painted over a
dark grey. Bear in mind the dunlelgelb could be of various shades dependant
on the paint supplier available to the German unit at the time. The MM
color for dunkelgelb is very much on the green side and less on the yellow.
If you choose to paint the 251 in a German "yellow" you may want to mix your
own color to get a color shade you like. FWIW, I too use MM paints and I
like their dunkelgelb color.
Good luck,
Mark |
