Help with Alpine figure painting

[fmenardi]

Hello!

I need help to modelling and painting the following Alpine Waffen SS figure in to an Heer tank crewman.

Do you have any photo the Heer armour crew coverall and some indication of the colour I could use to paint it ?

I hope to hear about this issue.

Regards,

Fabrício

Hello!

I talked with Taesung Harmms from Alpine about this question, that I quote:

"As far as I know, Heer did not have an officially issued coverall. They wore whatever coveralls they had available.This makes variety of color options. I do not have any color photos, but if you want to convert this figure, first, remove the "v" seam in the backside where the belt is; change the belt buckle; and paint it any shade of dark grey or field grey.
You can even use one of the head if you, just shave off the emblems on the camo cap and paint it in splinter pattern."
