ancient mariner Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 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. AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's T-34/85 by the way.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
