I bought the ICM German Staff kit, which includes a woman figure in a standard Army service uniform. I also have the Osprey book on female auxiliaries in the German military.

The kit box shows the woman's uniform as field grey, while the book says the uniform was grey-though the illustrations show light blue! So which is the correct color?

Hello Tom,

you should go with grey. Definitely not the greenish Fieldgrey but simply plain grey. Blue would be a "Luftwaffenhelferin" (usual Luftwaffen-Blau") but therefore you would need to change insignia and other details.

Dennis

Thanks. Ironically the kit doesn't have decals. Should that be light, dark, or medium grey?
