I’ve finally chosen the figure for my 1/35 Dragon Panther D-- most photos show Panzer black heer uniform-- this looks khaki to field grey – thinking of going w/ a ‘dusty panzer black’ – any advice appreciated! – Dog

I’d do my own research regarding the time period of this uniform and the color. I don’t know if it’s correct or not. I have as set of Dragon early war panzer figures where the painting guide calls for light grey. Was light grey still in use in 1943? Was this style still in use in 1943? Was this style issued in black?

This is the reed-green summer panzer uniform, though a bit faded from it’s original color in this artwork.

Here is an example of a reproduction;

Thanks a lot Kykeon-- that will work really well – now if I could only find some additional crew wearing the same uniform-- I might just use some Dragon LSSAH crew using the same color (instead of camo)
