Painting WW II Soviet Sailors

[Helen]

Shoulder boards (epaulets) in the Soviet army and on fleet have appeared only in 1943! Then already Marines parts carried an army uniform with small elements of naval clothes (there is one photo above). If you wish to make figures in a sea uniform (it was used in marines in 1941-42) that distinction signs then carried only on sleeves.
You signs on sleeves or epaulets interest?

Hi Michael,

This officer is outfitted with a officers cap, a M43 four button blouse with two top pockets with shoulder boards and naval trousers with boots.

I'm looking at the Black Sea Fleet for insignia.

Thanks Michael,

Helen

By the way, Helen, it is possible to use for creation of Marines of a figure of red seamen from Copplestone on Civil War in Russia. Small conversion is necessary. There there is also a crew of a machine gun "Maxim".
