I just bought some "Flames of War" Pz IV and III tanks. The IV's are molded in medium brown and the III's are molded in a light green. I was hoping they were gray. Are they consistent in their plastic colors are do they vary a lot? I started out with some "Tanks" US Sherman and Lee and a Priest and they were in olive drab approximately. Thanks.

It may depend on which box you bought. I think BF is trying to more or less color match the 'typical' color of that time/theater.

Afrika Korps tanks would be a different color than Ostfront.

Thank you. I looked over the boxes and they both say "Mid-War". The IV's are really more light brown/desert, so that makes sense. The light green III's probably are Russian Front, I guess. I am not very knowledgeable on German tank colors or other nations, for that matter.
