MaRiO FDZ Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi Fellas I'm kitbashing something into a RUssian thinguie, wheels IIRC were this w3rd green. Is it more like Zinc CHromate, or what color should I use? Thanks Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dpogson Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 White ensign paints do Russian wheel green. RAF dark earth is close but "its based on tractor paint" after all. In fact I think modern Russian jets traditionally have green wheels now out of a sense of tradition and inverted snobbery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 For the jets from the past few decades, MM Euro I Green is not a bad match, possibly with some lightening (but only a touch). Older ones during and after WW2 had darker, very flat-finished hubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
