Russian T-34/80 colours

[ancient mariner]

A question if you will indulge me.

I know that many Russian WW2 tanks often left the factory with only rudimentary paint jobs,some I believe even in bare metal. However what of the later war types,? in particular the T-34/80s.   Was a primer coat applied? If so what colour was the primer.  

 

Thanks in advance.

This came up on here only a couple of weeks ago.  The place to go for Russian paint advice is http://www.4bogreen.com/

 

The consesus was that Russia did not use a primer in the WW2 era as 4BO green contained a significant proportion of Zinc Chromate, itself a primer.

 

And it's T-34/85 by the way..............

Thanks for the reply,all I needed to know.   I remain justly chastised and shall wear peas in my shoes for all of Lent.
