    Modeling 1/35 German armor with "Extra" equipment. Fire extinguishers...I would think they would be a different color than German armor gray, but what? I have seen some painted white,but I am still uncertain.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dr B,
    If you hover your mouse over picture 53 here there's a few preserved examples
    The Wheatcroft Collection - More Features
    I seem to remember there might be some buried away on the main Wheatcroft site too, but I'm not certain (always worth a browse regardless though)

    I've scratched my head over this before but generally just paint 'em in whatever 'standard' panzer colour looks right for the vehicle/period. Most original units I've seen for sale are in Dunkelgelb.
    It'd be nice to be more certain though.

    Would a lot of ancillaries just be left in place and painted over?

    I know they did in 2003 :)

    That's what I assume in most cases Andy, but it's always nice to know what colours they left the factory in.

    Ouch... seems they would go for a contrasting color, but.....

    AS far as I can make out fire extinguishers on german vehicles were painted body colour.
