The panzer III in nightdrop appear to be in desert camo colours and icon, did Rommel rush them in from North Africa. Also no markings etc

"desert camo colours"
I don't understand. It looks plenty grey to me, though it could be argued that it should be Dunkelgelb with green or hull red & green patterning. It's certainly not early desert RAL 8000 & 7008.

Hi citizen6
I'm definitely not a expert on camo or tanks but it just looked odd to me.
Its just my COD, your right it does look "grey" in the screen grab but that's primarily due to the "night setting light scene" being used for this night drop scenario, have a look at the building behind thats "blue grey". I've checked the graphic the model is referencing and thats a better indication of its true colour.

But may be it should be as the H35 tanks behind.

I see the difference when compared to the H39s...to be honest I hadn't noticed it. Historically all of them would have been repainted in various patterns of the later colours (dunkelgelb, red, green). Maybe it's just BA indicating that they are "old" tanks. Cheers
True

I also noticed the difference . Why not change them to 1940 blackish panzers?
