Hello Armorama!
I'm just about to start painting three figures for my latest build (Soviet captured Panther with repainted turret) and I wanted to get some info on which colour to paint the overalls in.
I know I've seen three different colours; Kakhi, blue(ish) and black. Is there one that is more right than wrong for the 1944-45 period?
Thank you on forehand!

Hi, Henrik
This link should be a good help to you: http://rkka.ru/uniform/files/i_btmv.htm , especially these two:
I would advice on the second one, though.

Both the khaki and blue uniforms were standard in 1942. I believe that the black uniform is correct. I have seen the black in use post-wwii.
