Does anyone have a good photo reference for the instruction label/plate found on the German Fire extinguishers as per the one stored on the rear deck of the Tiger I? I know the canister was usually a medium or field blue in colour during the war and the modern ones which look similar are now red.

Most 1:16 scale extinguishers show a raised area where the instructions would be, but I don't know if this would have been a stamped metal plate (brass etc) or a decal/transfer. It's a detail crying out to me to be detailed.

Hi David i had a look around and all i could find is this 1/6 replica used on smaller German vehicles, but it does show the labels.

David by fire extinguisher I take it you mean the Tetra fire extinguisher as seen on all German AFV's

They weren't red on the tanks.  Not exposed anyway.  Other AFVs had red ones but they were usually covered.  They were dunkelgrau or dunkelgelb.

Cannot find my photos of the label!  But I found them on the web recently.  I know they're around here somewhere...

Hi Guys always thought these were BCF fire extinguishers which were always green standard colour code for all BCF extinguishers they banned them in the 1980s because they were toxic.These extinguishers used to be standard equipement in the forces when I was in every vehiecal and ground equpement with an engine had one they could be used on fuel or electical fire .

hear you go these are from my 1/6 Tiger notice there are different types of markings

A big Thank You, Chaps.

Looks like the three part Decal/Transfer system was used. Now I just have to figure out a 1:16 look-a-like. Should have done this in my 20's, not now when I am saddled with geezer glasses!

you can buy the 1/16 version of my 1/6 decals I think Pedingtons make them and you should e able to get them through Military might

Thanks for the tip, Rivetcounter. That will make life a whole lot easier.

Best regards,

David
