help with uniform colors.

My guess would be a Russian meeting an American GI -possible Elbe meeting?

35007"The Victors" - American and Russian Shaking Hands at Elbe River (OOP)

http://www.usarmymodels.com/MANUFACTURERS/WarriorsScaleModels/warriors.html

note:The website has WWII GI Uniform information for painting.

http://www.amazonminiatures.com/youandwhosearmy/modelling/painting_wwii.htm

has Soviet uniform colors.

The US Figure should have a Khaki or Olive Khaki bib overall, and a similar colored tankers jacket. cuffs and collar are an olive green. Boots are a medium brown leather (rough side out) with a slighter darker leather (smoothe side out) brown legging. Helmet is OD. Pistol Belt is khaki.

Teh Russian will have a Khaki to Khaki Olive Blouse, Pants and cap can be a Field Blue for Officer or a color matching the blouse. Boots are black and Sam Browne pistol belt brown leather.

thanks for the quick reply guys!

  Many photos at the first meeting were in black & white... but I found color pictures a while ago and it was an re-enactment of Elbe meeting by the Russkies and Americans.  I looked at their uniforms and it looked pretty accurate to me.

Here's picture of the famous meeting at Elbe that Spruce mentioned... always loved this one.

Scroll thru some of these uniform pics. They don't have the US tanker cold weather uniform, but they do have the Soviet stuff.
