BK974 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hello! I am planning on building a 1/48 Flanker, what colors do you recommend for a "standard" blue/gray russian machine? the paints I can get here in Norway is Tamiya, Vallejo and Gunze Sangyo... Thanx!

Berkut Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 First, there is no such thing as "Su-27B". There is Flanker-B, but that is NATO. Considering number of repaints, weathering etc, it is very difficult to tell you the color. I would choose a jet, and work from there, not other way around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I agree with Berkut, you should use your artistic licence :) However, I should say I like white ensign colors as regular flanker colors. This photo represents how they look directly from the bottle. There is some preshading, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If you dig up a picture of the one you have in mind, i will try to help you out with color matches (Vallejo atleast) and future references. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
