Soviet GAZ M-1 'Emka' colours anyone?

Dear Colleagues

 

I recently got hold of the new Zvezda 1/35 GAZ M-1 staff car.  Does anyone know or have any evidence if any of them were ever painted camouflage green?  I believe the standard cars were usually black.  As they were taken up by officers and driven to the front might some of them been given a green camo job?  Looking at wartime photos I really cannot tell.

 

Thanks for any advice

The 2 wheel drive version was black the 4 wheel drive version of that car, not the Emka per say, but basically the same vehicle, could be either 4BO, or black IIRC. A GOOGLE search will turn up some good information

Hi

 

Check out a website called "Engines of the Red Army".

 

Can't link to it off my phone but a Google search of the above will find it.

 

There's lots of soft skin colour profiles and photos on there.

 

Regards
