1/18 RC Panzer paint scheme question
I was under the impression there were only 2 schemes for this item, tan, and tan with green and brown camo... While at a local WM yesterday they had just one on the shelf and it was tan with brown camo and a little different pattern camo than the other. So there are apparently 3 camo patterns??

Yes, there are three patterns! There was a thread about this a while back. The 3rd paintscheme (tan base & brown cammo) is in the same unit as the first one (tan) and has the same markings as the non-RC European exclusive Panzer IV, though there are no sideskirts. This tank seems to have improved drive sprockets and gears and runs much better over soft terrain than the S1 RC Panzer IV. It still runs too fast and has the automatic gun elevation as all the others.
