Luftwaffe Ground Crew

[a pair of pliers]

I have been trying to find the correct colours to paint my Luftwaffe ground crew with but I just cannot find the right colour and I was wondering if anyone knows what colours I should use

Hi Pair-of-pliers.

 

Luftwaffe ground crews were often refered to 'men-in-black, due to the black overalls they wore, so that's a no brainer, 'Balck is Black', to quote to rolling stones.. As for the pilots check though some Luftwaffer builds on the Aircraft forum, or Google WW2 Luftwaffer Uniforms and you should find many answers.

 

As an aside have you seem the Zvezda WW2 Luftwaffer Ground Crew kit you might find that very interesting.

Humbrol Acrylic 33 Matt Black = overalls, cap & boots

Humbrol Acrylic 64 Matt Light Grey = piping to collar

The Luftwaffe figures wear a very similar uniform to tank crews and can be used as them.
