The colour is what I would describe as "Museum German Grey." I've seen it or close to it in museums and outdoor memorials world wide, applied to everything from artillery, to wheeled vehicles to tanks and other armour that would never have sported anything remotely like it in service. Worthington Park, Canadian Forces Base Borden, had (has?) a Panther, a Hetzer and a Wirbelwind, among others, with similar paint. It just keeps them from rusting and contrasts them with the "Museum Allied Green" that Allied tanks were painted with. |
