                        OK, time for a question to those in the know- what color would you recommend for the collars and epalauts for the German Heer blouse worn 1940-1942 period. I know they are supposed to be a green, but what shade does it lean toward? For Panzer Grenadiers specificaly.

                        Bottle Green is the color of the collar on the M-36 tunic and Grass Green for the Panzergrenadier Waffenfarbe.. Testor's MM Forrest Green is pretty close to Bottle Green, and for Grass Green, I use straight Testor's Flat Green or MM Field Green.  Just remeber that the contrast is pretty low.. The epaulettes are same Feldgrau as the tunic.

                        OK, I have both of those colors. I figured the color color was a bit darker and less "bright", so to speak. I was thinking the Waffenfarbe for Panzer Grenadiers was more in line with zinc chromate green like the Bundeswehr ones I saw. Thank you much sir!Make a Toast [#toast]
