Spiros, @fiveten
Late last night I happened to run across this build of yours. Then I check back this morning and you are nearly finished ! You Sir, are a model building machine ... and that's a good thing. 🙂
I like your choice of color. It also reminds me of the color used on the cockpit and various internal locations inside the Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien. As far as the way that German armor and other various Wehrmacht vehicles / equipment was painted can be confusing.
As best as I can tell, they painted things using the standard dark German Gray color up until the August / September time frame era of 1943. Then they started using the "Dunkelgelb" (Dark Yellow) color after that as the standard base color. The only notable exception to this that comes to mind quickly are from the equipment that was built specifically for the Afrikacorps.
The nice thing about building German armor / and equipment models, is that almost anything goes. Once these items were assigned to a unit, they could be painted in any number of ways, since camouflage was up to the local Commanders, who had a lot of leeway to change the appearance based on the local conditions.
I have never seen a kit like this one built before... and you are knocking it out of the park !
BTW, congrats on having your Buckeye in the headlines section over at MM. I have been noticing a lot of your builds showing up like that lately. More proof that you are an exceptional builder.
Take care my friend, and stay safe.
