    Colour code for Torns ?

    Hi everybody,

    i have just stripped the paint off the frontplate of my Torn from 1944 as it was obviously not original. Can anybody out there inform me what is the correct colour code for repainting ? Is it RAL 7028 or RAL 8017 or any other ? Which colour was used for Torns being ised in the Afrika-Korps ?

    Best regards

    Joachim

    You can go with Panzer Grau by 1944militaria:

    And don`t forget to prime it first. I use exact match in Ruddy Brown by "Krylon".

      Panzer grey indeed seems about right for a 1944 example.

      Africa corps ones were not painted in a special colour, they were either the early green or mid war grey colour. It could have been that outer cases were painted at unit level in sand colour, but the factories did not apply ordenance tan colour to the outer boxes untill late 1944. On some late war examples, the face plate could also be tan.

      As you probably know, ordeance tan equipment had nothing to do with the Africa corps!

      regards,
