agelos2005 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi guys As I am colorblind and a bit confused can you help me with the correct colors for the grey splinter scheme of the Mig-29SMT? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I would be willing to help out but; 1; What brand of paints are you using? 2; AKAN does have MiG-29SMT camo paint packages. 3; Note there are two MiG-29SMT splinter camo schemes. The original one and the repainted (atrociously done) one, it has darker dark grey color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agelos2005 Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 I prefer MRP gunze or tamiya I thought it was only one grey scheme Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The colours you need for the splinter camo are MRP284 - light grey (for lower surfaces) MRP 287 - light green grey (for upper camo) MRP288 - dark green grey (for upper camo) If you wish to use Akan it’s 63051 for the lower grey and 63093 for the upper green grey. Personally I will use the MRP paints even though I have the Akan since I find MRP to spray better and is more resilient. Hope this helps. Thank you I am looking for the grey camo not the grey/green one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I've been trying to match colours to the photos of SMT's. Frankly, it seems every one is slightly different colour. I used what Zvezda claimed in instructions. I was going for a more faded colurs, and initially I wanted some yellow primer flakings, eventually decided against it. Light gray - Tamiya XF-80, Dark gray/blue Tamiya XF-18 with a light gray overspray, as it turned out too dark for me. For the medium gray tone I used the Gunze H308. While I'm not too happy with the darkest gray, the rest seems ok to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I could see, not a lot of aircraft were repainted and it's a shame, Rene chose to release paints for this version and demo 777 instead of the original splinter option.

Original dark grey had blueish hue while the repainted ones had it darker with greenish hue. MrP paints that you've used are correct for repainted birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
