Answer 1

No instructions with the Tamiya Kit ? Or were they in Japanese ?

First you need to determine if you want your tank-commander to be of the Wehrmacht or the SS.

A Werhmacht Tank Crewman or Commander would wear an all black wool coverall (M1935) and either a black cap or field grey peaked cap.

Officers would wear a matt aluminum breast-eagle, all other rates woule wear a matt grey breast-eagle. All ranks wore field quality shoulder and sleeve rank insignia with BLACK cloth replacing the dark-green facing cloth of the Infantry. The Rank insignia is piped with pink and done in aluminum thread.

I've been doing 1/35 Tamiya figures since 1978. Testors Model Masters paints come in colors for the German Uniforms... Feldgrau, Black, Aluminum, Panzer Pink

Good Luck !!
