I am planning to build a model of the Vomag with 8.8cm Flak. Although I have several photos of the crew, these are black-and-white images. I note that the uniforms are similar to the Army type (with Luftwaffe insignia), but would these have been in a field-grey colour or the Luftwaffe blue-grey?

Thanks for that information ... it confirms what I thought. However, I have read that towards the end of the war, the Army field grey was adopted by Flak crews (with Luftwaffe insignia). Perhaps this was based on the decision to standardize uniforms, and to reduce cost.
