Can anyone tell me the proper colour for my Canadian Sherman Firefly tank crew in pixy suits (MiniArt British Tank Crew kit 35078)? A source for colour photos would also be greatly appreciated :-) Cheers,

The set you mention shows the denim overall/ tanksuit, which was worn in the summer. I don't think the Canadians had a specific version. Here's a link to a reproduction:

Wonderful, thanks for that! I've seen pics of Canadian crew in Sicily with similar khaki suits to the box art, but wasn't green the typical colour for Normandy? If so, was it an OD green or different?
