Sdkfz 7 details (paint chips mostly)
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:14 pmHi guys.
I am a lucky sod as this week end Hilary Doyle was my guest, at home, and we spent the day, yesterday, at the Saumur museum surveying various vehicles including the SdKfz 7 Flak they have. Since some people asked about how the various parts of the undercarriage were painted I made a series of close up pics that might be of some interest. As far as I know (I asked the people who deal with the maintenance of the vhicles) the paint on this one is original with the exceptions of some black paint added on the undercarriage close to the cabin, probably in the 90s. Traces of the original three tome camo can be seen on the cabin and one can see that most of the undercarriage parts, including transmission, were painted Dunkelgelb.
