Hi, not sure if this should be posted here or in the figures or soviet forum? Anyway I was hoping for some advice from anyone with any knowledge of soviet tank crew uniforms. I'm painting one of Alpine's soviet tank crew and the figure is dressed in a short (waist length) black leather jacket over a set of coveralls. The box art shows two versions of colour for the coveralls - black (leather?) and a fetching bright blue! The figure I want to depict is in Berlin in 1945 at the latter stages of the war. Does anyone know the correct colour for the coveralls? From my research it would appear that the black coveralls were only issued to crews for victory parades at the end of the war? Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks
