Late war Panzergrenadier uniform?

Posted by JakeHumble94 on 17 Oct 2012, 12:19

Hi guys,

My next upcoming project is a group of late war Panzergrenadiers with 3 Sdkz 251's as transport. I've tried googling the uniform but every time I am presented with 3 - 4 different uniforms?

Here's the set - http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/media/m ... v20006.jpg

I just wondered if you guys could point me in the right direction as to what colour scheme to use?

Thanks,

Jake :-)

Brilliant thanks!

I went with a pea dot style uniform and i'm pretty impressed with the results, how does this look to you?

Might be a little hard to make it out, 'll try and get some better photos showing the uniform a little more clearly.

Hi!
All depends on if it's Wehrmacht or Waffen SS Panzer Grenadiers unit. In first case - paint Feldgrau or Splitter Muster 41/43/44. In second - Eichenlaub Muster, Erbsen Muster, Rauch Muster. On the picture camouflage smocks look like Rauch Muster (''blurred edge'' or less likely mishandled painted Eichenlaub (???) combined with Erbsen Muster (dot 44/pea) trousers. Some photos:
