There are a couple of instances of the polish Motorized Police (ZOMO) being present in areas and towns of Poland in the Twilight 2000 canon. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of uniforms and the colors they used? The images I found on Google looked like a standard gray police uniform. From the canon they turned out to be pretty good (i.e. semi-fanatical) troops when used in the fighting. Did they have any sort of camouflage uniform? So far it looks like my plan is to use Peter Pig's hardened militia with a mix of gray and camouflage uniforms with some Russian khaki/brown thrown in for good measure. Thanks in advance for any webistes that might shed some light on the actual subject! Russ |

I found an example of Polish police camo from the 80s at link It is kind of a olive khaki color with a dark blue rain/dot pattern everywhere. Painting it might take some practice. Russ |

Per wiki
Since 1968 they wore military uniforms with a very similar camouflage pattern to the one used by the Polish People's Army.
This is a webiste who re-enact the ZOMO/Militia (ie the police of the communist era)- interesting that they are allowed to do it link |

Usually they wore steel-blue-grey Militia uniform, with white helmets. Officers was giving them amphetamine and other psychodysleptic drugs, so they were not very mentally stable. Once I witnesses situation when they ruthlessly beaten to unconsciousness teenager boy who was visible suffering from Down syndrome – just because he did not run away as all other people. Bad days, bad people, really. Oddzial Osmy will produce such figure, maybe will be sold thorugh Pico Armour:
