AgentG, Marc the two-tone schemes are incredibly difficult to pick out in b/w photos because they are so similar to each other to begin with. Add in a good coating of dust and you've got what looks like a single overall scheme. I was able to find 1 good color photo in the Bundesarchiv of a Kubelwagen in the Tropen scheme (caption says Sicily 1943 but that was also considered a "Tropen" area)....here it is:
Even in color you can see that it's hard to make out the two different tones, but they are there and the darker color is most certainly not Panzer Gray.

I like the spare track draped over the turret. Also, is that a pioneer tool clasped to the side of the hull? Would that have been a field mod? |
