I think you hit the nail on the head Ben.Īmong the other things that stand out to me is the fact that Soviet production lines continued pretty much non-stop in spite of having to physically move the tractor plants East on account of the encroaching Axis forces. I want to see if their metal quicklyget rushted. If someone has photo of this, I like to see it. I also remember sometime ago someone even told me that some of the Russian tanks rushed to the battle field baremetal color. We have to also remember that at that time, they (the Russian) are at the loosing end, so I belive whatever green they can through to their tank is good enough.
I really doubt that the Russian even ever thought of using a standart color green for their WWII tank. If you've found one or two colors that suit you, go ahead and use them. After 20 years in the military I learned there is nothing standard about any mililtary force. This should account for different vehicles painted at different times at different factories with paint from a variety of paint manufacturers. Russian WW2 it might not hurt to use slightly different shades of color on different models. In fact, if you like certain kinds of models i.e. "Close enough works well for nuclear weapons, horseshoes, and model painting. I've been building models for too many years now and generally use the "Nuclear Weapons" philosophy in painting my models. I have also used White Ensign Russian armor green and can't see much difference between it and Model Master Russian armor green.
I used to use either Model Master or Tamiya dark green but have been leaning more toward Model Master acrylic Russian armor green.
Hard to say what the actual color might be since we're over 60 years removed from the events in question.
