Russian Infantry Uniform Color
Russian Infantry Uniform Color
I bought a DragonSoviet Infrantry Tank Riders.
My problem is I can't find a Tamiya Acrylic equivalent for the color of the uniform. Here are the recommended colors from the box:
Aqueous Hobby Color = H27
Mr. Colour = 33
Italeri = 1742
Anyone built a tamiya with Soviet infantry like this one? What's the standard uniform color?

that is correct, it should be khaki, for best results i would have them in similiar but different color uniforms like 2- khaki 1- dark olive gren olive drab , and dark desert yellowD.

OK, here we (finally) go...Benedick wrote:cool. tnx a lot.Sun Tsu wrote:Tamiya itself says XF-62 Olive Drab (at least according to teh kit I got)...
do you still have kit instructions?
can you share me the details of the colors?
TIA
General uniform details (as in everything I dosen't mention :p ): XF-49
Any "stars" (such as on the headgear, not counting helmets): XF-7
Boots, pistol holsters: X-18 (although I found XF-1 to be better on the boots)
Rain capes: XF-52
Greatcoats: XF-51
Gasmask cases: XF-65
Map cases, Rifle ammo pouches: XF-64
Belts: XF-10
Shapkaushanka (those special "russian" hats): Either XF-51 and XF-49 (with XF-49 on the largest part) or XF-24 and XF-49 (with XF-49 on the smallest part this time).
And finally; The guns: Metla parts should be X-10 (I bet you've already gessed this) and wooden parts should be XF-64.
Sorry if it took some time, I had trouble finding the instructions (and remembering to take them with me)
