What color are German Jerry Cans

I need to know this. Please reply

Depends, I assume you are refering WW2. Either Panzer Grey or German Panzer Yellow, depending on what part of the war. Late war for the yellow, or early war for the grey, however grey was still around all through the war.

Thanks nzgunnie, I cant read Japanese and there were no color codes that came with the set. I’ll do it panzer grey.

hi al the orginal ones i saw last week for sale were either panzer grey , yellow, or black , or luft blue and dark olive drab , even a white one cheers ian

A note about somthing we’re all guilty of. We tend to paint Jerry Cans alike and also exactly like the vehicle they are attached to. Infact these cans were used, and reused, and reused, and reused. Some looked new, some looked a little beat up, some looked like hell, some looked faded and some looked rusted. Also they would get repainted in field depots and the colors there would vary a lot.

Just my two cents.

they tended to match the base paint of the vehicle.

Now I am beginning to think you are a troll. Another 13 year old thread, really???

And I bet that if one does a forum search on this same topic, there will be multiple threads on the same subject between the last posting on this thread, and today.

The “use the recommended thinner for best results” comment on the 12 year old “thinner question” kills this one… [:)] There’s always a “thinner” question that’s no more than a week or two old.

Nahhh, my favorite is still the “Welcome” in “Welcome, introduce yoursef”…to a post 13 years old.

He definitely needs to go away. GM…I saw that one to and started to laugh. He needs a new hobby

I see this thread is still going.

Well, nine years ago, it was. And even that was a resurrection of a thread started thirteen years before that.

Posts and threads stay forever; we don’t archive content.

So someone stumbles across a thread and posts a new comment, but doesn’t notice when it was started or when the last post was made. And voila! zombie thread!

There seem to be two main opinions. Some guys get really exercised about someone resurrecting an old thread. Others don’t mind it. I think I fall into that second category. Personally, there are a lot more things to get irritated about than zombie threads. As far as the forum goes, I find the many posts made in the wrong forums more irritating. It seems to happen more with the new forum format, than it did in the old format. The menu requires a little more interaction to see the categories, than the old one did, and it might not be as intuitive for a new member to click and drill down to find the best category to post in.

But again, as far as things to get irritated by go, there are bigger things to worry about.

So in the end, meh.

Best regards,
