Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf.D

I just bought the Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf.D and want to make it as one used in North Africa. There are decals for a Africa Corps model but not sure what colour to paint it? Also I want to keep the figures with it but not sure if they have correct uniforms for an Africa Corps. If they are correct what colour should I paint them?

here are three colors from Tamiya that Iuse as most came in the tan color anyway.

XF-49 XF-59 XF-60

I agree Redleg, for a Sandkelb such as they used In Afrika Corp, I will use varying ratios of Tamiya’s Desert Yellow, Dark Yellow and Buff, with a little white. I try to use different amounts on diffferent models to add some variation to the weathering.

Cheers

I would just go straight out DARK or DESERT YELLOW. Probably Desert Yellow

another option is to paint it panzer grey with white outline turret numbers (#801 for example) and a heavy coat of dust - this was how they first appeared in north africa at the start of the campaign … as for the figures if they are the double breasted black tunic, these were replaced with tropical issue jackets - only the black head caps were continued to be worn

cool thanks for your help everyone
