MaRiO FDZ Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hello Fellas I know, I know, this has probably been asked before but I cannot find a definitive answer. But then again, Russians being Russian, they have 0 standards and just paint as they go. Anwyay. I'm doing a What-If Macross Plus YF-19 with MiG-25 Tails, F-18 Landing Gear, and Some weird ordinance. Just for the Lols. The sceme will be SPlintered Russian Winter with Blue, white and gray. That I do know However, I'm not sure if the Russians have stopped using that funky Turquise Green they used to have in the Cold war and have gone to more normal Grayish interiors??? SOme MiG-29I've seen have that, but just would want to make sure I can get away with that... OOOOR... what Color (preferrably Mr Hobby) to match that weird turquise. Thanks Again.

Murph Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The MiG-31 still uses the turquoise, but other Migs have switched to a gray color. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Since it’s a fantasy what if thing, paint it what ever color you like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The point of asking is because I WANT to paint it Russian Interior. Preferrably the SU-27, not the turquoise one. Though I will get that as well. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Sukhoi family in Russian service uses a pale blue-grey. On my 1/72 scale Flankers I use Humrol 'Helblau' - mixed with a little grey. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
