what color would you sugest for ww2 russian uniform, tanyia says to use khakai, but it looks to green. any ideas? thanks

Hey Flash

Welcome to our happy modeling home.

For your question, it depends cause of the lend lease program. it could be just about any color from khakai to olive drab. The russians got uniforms and other items from other countries. They did start makeing there own until late in the great war.

If you can wait till tonight I can provide another resource. I've got a uniform book at home. I'll look it up and post later tonight (EDT).

Hola!

Here are a few images of different Russian uniforms, all pictures are linked from CollectRussia.com. Hope this helps




Here is a lend lease uniform with material from the US

My firend from the Ukaraine has his father's old "padded jacket" (similar to the photo above). It is a green drab as opposed the tan-ish looking photo above). Guess they were a lot like the Jerries.... different factories, different dye lots, different times of production... probalby anything but hot pink would be close!

thanks for all of your help, going with the khakai and drap colors
