Russian question

[Hagar]

I hope this is the correct forum. I am building a Dragon 1/35 T34/76 1940. The 10 Armoured Division used cam'd tanks. From refs I know the colours but I cant find photographic proof (or refs). does anyone know of a good web site that would have pictures of 1940/42 era tanks so I can see the scheme? Thanks in advance. :)

they used a dark brown paint for the camo .
over the base color of the dark green.
i read this some where i dont rember.
so just check with other people and make sure iam right,
there is awsome web site
about russian armor i will have to try to find it.
here is a few http://www.achtungpanzer.com/t34.htm

I have the AJAKs book (number 1 of 3) and it tells the colours.Unfortunatelly not very many T34/76 1940's got painted in cam. according to the book the 1943 cam job is identical. They dont have any pics though. I am fairly sure the scheme in the instructions is bogus, but if I cant find a pic to back up my written ref then I'll just have to do green. Thanks for the link though. :)

the russins used a red brown kinda like the germans,
or a dark brown

The AJAKS book T-34 Stalins War Horse Model fan Encyclopedia NO 5 just says brown and that it could be enhanced with sand or black splotches. The green is Olive and they say a fairly close approximation is FS34102. Nothing about the shade.
