Can anyone help me identify the colour of the oil drum on the back of the Panzer III
In between the rings is looks very light
Thanks Antony

Hi Ant,
Looking at the photo and the way the barrel is shining, I would hazard a guess that it is bare metal, just compare the shine on the belt buckle to the barrel!

Hi Paul,
It seems you are right. The Germans, according to a few experts never painted their fuel barrels as below. They were made of zinc or similar with metal rings which were liable to rust.
Thanks Antony

Hi Antony,
I keep telling you I’m not just a pretty face, but you keep laughing at me!
