A search shows they recently added some new specfic German colours to their range, Many Tamiya instructions are online, which will have their recommendations for German armour. There are paint in their range usually recommended for German Armour, unsurprisingly.
Tamiya are pretty limited in their paint range, so they don't do many specific paints.
What nation(s) would help and area and time. I am under an area in lockdown so have to do curbside pick up, trying to put an order in soon. Obviously flat black, flat white, German grey. Could you recommend the first dozen Tamiya paints I should get to get back into the hobby? I have seen a photo dating from the 1941 period of two abandoned T-34's in color that seemed to shade them in the lighter field/forest green, but this would be hard to call as a final word due to reasons previoulsly mentioned.Looking for some advice. While they would give a good impression, these films tended to darken green colors due to their properties. Color photos from WWII would be misleading at this point due to the color films in use at the time. Other vehicles of Soviet manufacture I saw on my recent deployment to the Balkans had an original base color green, under their more recent paint jobs, more closely matching forest green or field green in the FS standards. As far as the painting history of the vehicles goes, who knows. They were displayed on pedestal mounts and painted in a shade pretty close to the xtracolor Russian tank green. Among them were some T-34's (one was a T-34/76 model 1943) purportedly among the first to enter Berlin. A buddy of mine who was stationed in the Berlin Brigade once upon a time was able to visit the "dark side"before the wall fell and brought back some interesting pics of displayed items.
