    Ive been looking at this Panzerfaust 60 for a few months and im concerned if it is an accurate reproduction of an orignal before I purchase it, can anyone tell me if this is an accurate reproduction? Because i believe that most Panzerfausts were dark yellow and that the launching tube should also have directions on it

    Your comment on the color (dark yellow), Tamiya XF-59, I think may be off. I'm not sure if they came in different colors or not, but the pics/videos I have of them (in ammo-crates + being used)(and directions for 1/35th modeling) say they shound be a light-light grey/green.
    I use the Tamiya color XF-21 (sky). It was about as close as I could find for my hobby works.
    The germans painted with whaterver was available. Which makes their schemes (some of them) hard to duplicate. Their base color early on was dark grey, then dark yellow, then mostly rust/olive mixes on tanks after the "Zimmerit" who knows,(shortages in all areas)...anything available.
    I'd guess that since it was a one shot disposable thing, why paint it.
    The picture looks real enough though, size, shape.
