Tank Commanders uniform colours.

Post by jarndice »

Almost finished a Tiger 1,
After the paint and the decals I shall be painting the Tank Commander,
The Tank will be bearing the markings of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 503 as worn in the Kharkov campaign. I have no idea of the colour of the commanders uniform, although I assume it will be primarily Black, Nor do I know any of the distinguishing detail,
I would be a happy if second rate painter if someone can help me.
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Thank you Paul,
I knew I could rely on you for this information,
One question ? The Feldwebel's (Sgt) Waist Belt, would that be the same colour as the Officers or would it be a Semi-Gloss Black ?
