Crimean War (1854-1856)-RUSSIANS

2003-10-14

These are the colors (Testors) which I've found most closely match the pictures (boxes, Osprey books, etc.).

For one shade colors, here are the Testors numbers;
ALL COLOR NUMBERS ARE TESTORS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
Testors is sold in Europe under the name "Model Master".

NOTE: colors based on "Military Uniforms In Colour", Preban Kannik, Blandford Press, London, 1968, Osprey Men-At-Arms series #27, #40, #196, and #241, and the box art.
