wbill76 EBergerud DM, You sure that photo is from 1941? It's not. The misleading part may be the original thread title referencing 'Barbarossa'. The pic that DM provided is from mid-late 1942 given the model of Pz III it shows.

DM,
You sure that photo is from 1941?
It's not. The misleading part may be the original thread title referencing 'Barbarossa'. The pic that DM provided is from mid-late 1942 given the model of Pz III it shows.
Sorry I wasn't very vigilant here after seeing that finely painted panzer III.
Click on the picture below to see how I came to the conclusion on the coloring.
Thanks for the response. Any updates?

A model boat is much cheaper than a real one and won't sink with you in it.
Very nice representation of the camo pattern, give it the perfect 'dappled' look.
That looks great---there was a period in Russia where Dark Grey and Dark Yellow were overlapped, and used for camo. There's a few Tigers in that scheme as well.
f8sader Most excellent clean paint work! Thanks for listing the kit (and it's number)! Has it received a wash in the photos posted or is it the lighting or the colors really make the detail pop?

I hadn't in that pic. I had just painted and posted before I left for work. Last night I gave it a pin wash Testors dark brown "Rubber' and drybrushed it a lightened Panzer Grey so the details really pop now :) Decals are on, I just gotta finish up 'dirtying up' the running gear and I painted all the tools and wooden parts on it as well.

Nice, Nice.
I Love it.
Very Nice!

Heres's what I have so far... This is Vallejo Model Air Panzer Dark Grey and VMA Dark Yellow.
It's up to you Tankster......
Depending on how and how much you weather it, the actual correct shade won't matter that much.
Dark Yellow was still a couple of years away during Babarossa. That color most likely is Gelbbraun RAL 8000. One of the colors used in Africa.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Thanks for the help. I'm thinking this is where artistic interpretation is gonna come into play. I think the dark grey with dark yellow overspray will do nicely. :)
Tankster I've tried finding some reference pics of the vehicle in the guide but to no avail.......

Barbarossa?
Here 'ya go..........
At the opening of Babarossa, it would be safe to have everything in panzer Gray. Later as losses mounted and equipment meant for Africa was diverted to Russia as attrition replacements, tropical colors could be found there. Not Dark Yellow in 1941, but Gelbbraun RAL 8000 Graugrun RAL 7008 in 1941 could be found in Russia.
most of the tanks in russia were painted gray,
It would be more plausible to assume that since this was early on in the war when supplies were more abundant. I have plenty of Panzer Dark Grey so I think I'll just use that. I've tried finding some reference pics of the vehicle in the guide but to no avail.
i would think just panzer gray but you coulf probably load up with 5 gal cans and ectra spare tracks

I'm finishing up on Dragon's Panzer III Model J #6543 and I've come to a crossroads as to how to paint it. The instructions call for Dark Yellow over the Panzer Grey but the box art on the side of the box has the tank as overall Panzer Grey.
My question is were Panzers in Barbarossa painted in the overspray type like the DAK? This maybe too general a question but I thought I'd ask so someone more knowledgeable could steer me in the right direction.
