I am completing a Soviet T-28 in summer 1941. I would add one or two crewmen on the turret hatches. Were the Soviet tankers of summer 1941 dressed with grey or grey blue suits? Could they wear black leather jackets? Or what else?
Thank you for any help.

First, and this is the main thing, we must remember that shoulder straps appeared in the Red Army only in 1943, before that military insignia were located on the collar and sleeve.
Until February 1, 1941, the tankersβ tunic was βsteelβ color.
After that, it became like everyone elseβs - green.
Helmets could be fabric
or leather.
Externally, almost the same, but there are differences.
The overalls could be dark blue (up to blue or light blue) or black.
This is an example of dark blue color.
Here, based on the shades, you can assume that they had overalls of different colors
I provide links to a selection of photographs of Soviet tankers:
Remember: you only need ones without shoulder straps!
My kitography of tanker figurines can help you select sets for purchase. It is available for download in pdf format on my website https://in-mirror-scale.ru in the Library->Figurines section.

I get an error when attempting to download that file:
I tried the Horse file listed above it and it works, so the problem appears to be limited to this file only.

For general information: another online store has been found that can send goods outside of Russia, and most importantly - receive money on PayPal.
I took the trouble to send a request to the online store http://ruscale.ru to ru-scale@yandex.ru:
βWhen I visit a foreign modeling forum, I often receive questions about the possibility of purchasing Russian-made models from abroad. Your store website declares the possibility of paying for an order via PayPal. Is this information relevant?β
I received the answer:
"Yes, no problem, I ship abroad!
Payment to or by card or PayPal to my foreign partner."
So you can write to him and discuss the terms of selection and payment.
PS. This is the founder and owner of one of the oldest forums for modelers http://panzer35.ru, which is still large and significant, and certainly respected.
