Model Forum / General / Models / July 2006Dirt color on Eastern front--1941?
As silly as that may sound, is there anything unique about the color of the dirt/mud on the eastern front, c. 1941? I'm building a KV-1B, and I know there are very different colors here in the US depending on where you are. I'm not trying to get real anal about it all, just don't want any blatantly obvious blunders, or at least any more than I already have, considering this is the first tank I've built in about 40 (damn!) years. : As silly as that may sound, is there anything unique about the color of : the dirt/mud on the eastern front, c. 1941? Most any photo I have seen, it looks to be fairly rich, black soil. No (red) clay like Georgia, and it doesn't look to be the mucky clayish crap that overlays some of Texas.

I've always heard that the Ukraine's soil is black. Obviously that's not a literal black. For that you have to go up to the Coal Regions in Pa. :) Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. timetraveler658 wrote > As silly as that may sound, is there anything unique about the color of > the dirt/mud on the eastern front, c. 1941?

Have you tried googling for pictures of the area as it is now? Anything with agricultural or major construction work would probably show exposed earth and mud. Of course, that's assuming the earth hasn't changed much in the last 60odd years. |
