"Finnish Winter War Uniform Colors" Topic

What Vallejo colors would work well for Winter War Finns? Is there an online painting guide?

White. ;)

Seriously, though, for actual uniforms, they were pretty close to the Germans, and I've used just basic feldgrau.

"White" would be my first guess too.

Warlord Games has a Vallejo paint set for Finish infantry. The original announcement (March 21, 2014) included a brief reference as follows:

Summer jacket-Medium Sea Green 870; Winter Jacket and trousers-Grey Green 866; Helmet-Brown Violet 887; Leather-Chocolate Brown 872; Winter gear-London Grey 836 w/ white highlight; Officer's jacket-Cork Brown 843

I tried to track down the notice on Warlord's web site and got nowhere. Maybe you will have better luck.

No summer jacket outside summer months (and Winter War definitely was outside summer months!).

Mid-gray was the uniform color.

White should only be used in camo smocks. Please note that these became very dirty after a short while. Google some pics…

I did a little searching. I found the paint set and descriptions in the Warlord store so I can get the couple colors I need. I also found a tutorial for painting the white smocks where they don't look like a white blob. It is for 15s but the concept should work for 28s. I plan to do a sepia wash on them anyway to dirty them up a bit. Thanks all for the help.
