If you mean figure, Panzer uniforms are generally black with pink piping, although there are also various camoflage options for german uniforms. I have a site at home I can post later.

You could have a Wermacht commander in field gray with field cap like this:

Or you can go Panzer black like this:

Do some research on the theater and time period that your subject represents, this will affect what uniform and what service, (Wermacht,WaffenSS,Luftwaffe ground) is correct for your build.

Dragon has an excellent line of tanker figures. The ones in my post a DML modified tank crewman from the spares box.
