flybywire Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi! Could anybody please confirm if the anti-glare section in front of the windshield and some covering the entire windshield is indeed black and not dark green, because one manufacturer suggested dark green and a few, just a few pictures on the net did look greenish. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Every photo I have that shows the anti-glare panel is definitely black in color. I have never seen a dark green one. Doesn't prove a dark green one doesn't exist, but in my mind the preponderance of data says that the panel is black and only black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Initial were Black antiglare, since 2011 - Dark Grey\Green Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should know better than to make assumptions based on photos. Oh well... So, what's a good color match paint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Almost looks more like a faded black, but yea, it does have a greenish tint to it. I ain't going to argue with you Andrey. You know your stuff. Thanks for getting us the correct info.

evilmedic13 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Looks like some gunship gray w/ olive drab would do the trick nicely on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I actually stumbled on what looks, to me, like a perfect match. Floquil Railroad Colors Brunswick Green. Its an almost black, green. Very dark. Of course, Floquil colors are hard to come by these days, but some of you may have some sitting around gathering dust like mine are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Would Luftwaffe Schwartzgrun not match ?? Just a thought. Ken (who wrongly used black on his Trumpeter Su-34) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 All of the Schwartzgruns I have look too light to me, but its up to the individual to make the determination. The Brunswick Green I mentioned is darker than any of my Schwartzgruns (I have Testors, Aeromaster and Colourcoats). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 How about NATO black? I think that is an almost black very dark green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh now don't go singling out the Russians. We here in the US of A have plenty of color problems of our own. Just ask which "Gull Grey" to use on a 50's naval aircraft and wait for the fireworks to fly. Then there are the Germans in WWII who obviously planned the numerous color controversies for their armor and aircraft that we experience today. I think there is a vast conspiracy designed solely to frustrated the honest efforts of upstanding modelers everywhere! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 So they finally replaced/updated those 3-bladed black plastic fans so common in Russian cockpits. Here they are on a Be-200........ Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I thought those were thrust reversers...... 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
