Tom Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 So I've just received the Begemot decals and the colours are stated in FS numbers as are the kit instructions. But I'm wondering if there isn't something in the AKAN line that is more appropriate if not outright correct. Thoughts anyone? Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Tom Take look on AKAN's paints for ships, called "sharovaya", several shades of gray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marv Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This is the Modelsvit Be-12 that I just finished; it is a great kit that builds into a pretty nice model. I, too, was unsure of the main overall color, and noticed that the color differed between the Ukrainian bird and the Russian one (which seemed to be a bit darker). I finally mixed my own after viewing as many online walkarounds as I could find. I used Tamiya XF-20 medium grey and Tamiya XF66 light grey: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/F111A/20160216_135041_zpspkc3blgz.jpeg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/F111A/20160215_194536_zpsdgcyrsnk.jpeg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/F111A/20160216_135054_zpsvs8qlmgk.jpeg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The color depends on what aircraft and what time period you're going for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
