Hi guys/girls,
I need some help. I bought the Legend german tank riders set LF0116. But I'm no expert on German uniforms. Should I paint them in white, grey or some sort of platanenmuster?
help!!

Sorry I have to disagree. The panzer riders are wearing the special issue fur lined SS parka which was mouse gray in colour.
The trousers could be the same mouse grey colour or white or one of the SS pattern camoflage patterns.
another view
The fur lined parka can be distinguished by the pleated pockets and the fact that it is a pull on garment - ie it doesn't open all the way down on the front.

great,
thx Mr. moderator for adding the picture and thx Pat for the explanation. I've done lot's of google searches myself but couldn't find anything that matched the resin figures. It's good to have experts on this forum that can help.
