Wondering if anyone can help with uniforms for my current Tiger I late. Im modeling a unit from sPzAbt 507 and want to add some figures. I have Dragons Panzer Crew LAH Div 1943 #6214 (Oak leaf pattern)
Im not sure if any of the crews of the 507 ever used this type of uniform or if they just used the black Panzer crew uniform. I know these are two different style uniforms, so Im not sure if the 6214 kit will work. any help would be appreciated

SPzAbt 507 was a Wehrmacht unit rather than SS I believe. In that case the LAH crew are not appropriate, as they are wearing a special SS pattern uniform - the camoflauged overalls. You need standard panzer crew, eg Tamiya panzer crew @ rest. You could also consider figures wearing the reed green panzer denims, with large pocket on chest.
