I would like to make use of the wealth of info that this community has to ask a couple of questions to make my models/dioramas as historically correct as possible;

- I recently bought the TVA BT-5 mod. 33 (Zvezda rebox with metal barrel and resin turret) and want to make a Spanish Civil War diorama with it. Would Tristars 'Russian Tank Crew'(No.35012) be suitable as crew for this time period, or did the Spanish Republican tankers use different uniforms?

- I also managed to find Tristars 1/35 Fi-156 Storch and want to use it in a diorama where the pilot and observer are chatting with a motorcycle orderly. What are my options regarding 1/35 Luftwaffe pilots? And for the observer, were those always Luftwaffe personel (with Luftwaffe uniforms) or did Heer artillery observers fly as observers on Storchs? The latter would finding a suitable figure much easier!

Many thanks in advance!
