Rye Field Model - Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf G #5102

[Steve147]

Will be starting to build this kit in the next day or so.  However, reading through the instructions, there appears to be a couple of suggested paint schemes missing.  The instructions just give schemes numbered as follows:

3 Pz.Rgt.SS-Panzergrenadier Div 'Totenkopf' No 524, March 1943 Eastern Front, Kharkov;

4 Pz.Rgt 27, 19 Pz Div, No.401, Winter 1942/43, Eastern Front, Kharkov;

5 Pz.Rgt.SS-Panzergrenadier Div, Grossdeutschlan No 524 Winter 1942/3, Eastern Front, Krivoirog-Kirovograd; and 

Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf No 533 winterketten 1943 Eastern Front.

Schemes 3 and unnumbered are on page 14 and schemes 4 and 5 on page 15.

There appears to be no schemes numbered 1 and 2.  The box picture is of the unnumbered scheme.

I've checked on Scalemates and the instructions are the same as I have.

Am I right in assuming that the scheme numbers are wrong, or are there schemes 1 & 2 which Rye Field Models have forgotten to add?

I'll probably do the unnumbered scheme, but it would have been good to know what the schemes were.

Thanks in advance.

There are only four schemes to choose from and they are all illustrated in colour below

 

 

I think you may be confusing scheme numbers with what is actually the unit company number?  These are reflected on the turret decals with the first number representing the company.   But there is also a typo where it illustrates turret number 332.   In the description they have it as 524 but 524 is illustrated with another profile.

 

So for example 5./ Pz.Rgt.SS-Panzergrenadier Div, Grossdeutschlan No 524 Winter 1942/3, Eastern Front, Krivoirog-Kirovograd  - the number 5 is not a scheme number but the company number followed by platoon and lastly the vehicle number.

Many thanks for sorting out the confusion.
