Hey everyone!
I decided to make my 28mm Germans into a Panzer Lehr force.
What was their uniform like?
From I've seen in Company of Heroes and online they had te Heer gray jackets, camo helmets, and some color of
Pants (camo? Green?)

Are the above colors correct? If not please correct me!

Thanks

Their uniform colors were the same as any other Heer unit in Late War. That is, field gray trousers and jacket. The biggest difference was that their jacket was cut differently. It wasn't the normal Heer infantry blouse, Panzer Lehr Panzergrenadiers wore field gray "Panzer wraps," which were cut the same as the double-breasted black jackets that Panzer crews wore, except they were colored field gray instead. StuG crews from all Heer units wore field gray Panzer wraps, but as far as I know Panzer Lehr was the only unit where most of the Panzergrenadiers wore them as well. Depending on how particular you are, the difference is noticeable in 28mm, but I doubt many people would give you flak (most probably wouldn't even notice) if you just used regular Heer infantry figures. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a company that made 28mm Panzer Lehr infantry miniatures.

For their helmets you could do a mix of the normal dark gray helmets and helmets with camouflaged helmet covers.

As Hordini states the grey 'Panzer Wrap' is the most distinctive element of their dress;




As for 28mm figures, Artizan do them;
