I think the figures look awesome. I also wouldn't sweat the possibility of the tint being off by a little, after all...

Your example is not correct. That's the whole point, that the brown shade was NEVER used in the Soviet uniform of this period.

Regarding the painting of Soviet military equipment - it had the same factory color only until the first major repair. Subsequently, it was painted with the paint that the soldiers themselves (who made repairs) hand-made on the spot. To do this, they were supplied with pigments and a binder from the warehouses, but the shade was already very diverse - this was not given significant significance.

Didn't even bother looking at the wehrmacht uniforms eh?

Whatever, you do you boo.

Raglan: the point stands that your models are awesome. Paint 'em day-glo purple if you want, they're yours after all.

I saw an image of German uniforms. But the variety of colors that we see there is just the result of the economic and material difficulties of the war period. Look at the uniforms of the Wehrmacht of the peace period - you will be surprised)))
