Trying to find some figures wearing the denim overalls common during the fall of 1942. These were worn by panzerjager crews, along with panzer crews, during the later half of '42. Modeling a Marder III pak 36r entering into the Leather factory grounds in Stalingrad. This took place around 6-8 September. I know that many crew wore the overalls with steel helmets, i have multiple pictures. I can't seem to find the figures to represent this. The unit was panzerjager abt. 670 which was attached to the 24th for the Stalingrad operation.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

German AFV crew wore many different types of coveralls
throughout the Russian campaign. If you can post a pic or two
of the exact coverall you are referring to, maybe we can
help you better.

They are one piece overalls, with a typical wehrmacht belt at the waist. Pictures are found in the book Angriff, detailing the Stalingrad battle, by Jason Marks. Field Uniforms of the German Army Panzer Forces Of WWII describes them as being issued to panzer crew and panzerjager crew for the '42 campaigns. This explains their use by pzjgr units in and around Stalingrad.They appear to be field grey.
I can try to upload a pic.
