MattP Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) I've seen pix of Mi-28NMs and Ka-52s used in Ukraine. They seem to be a grey, a bit lighter than Gunship grey. Does anybody know what color it's most close to? Any help is greatly appreciated! Matt Ponas Edited November 29, 2022 by MattP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 On the Hinds, according to Begemot Decals (scheme 27/28) that would be the 2010 standard overall flat dark grey, no numbers given. http://www.begemotdecals.ru/doc/72-064 Mi-24V+VPp2.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Dark grey scheme used from 2010 to 2014-2015, later start use again standard grey-green scheme. About shade of Dark Grey - it can be actually diffrerent. And helicopters in Dark grey schemes after 3-4-5 years of operate strongly wearing off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Kotey, I wasn't sure when I saw a couple of others that looked a bit Grey/Green. I thought it was just the way the picture was taken... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Tank, I have a couple of other pix that show the Dk Grey... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Notice the heavy fouling of the fuselage behind the engines, there's good images of Hinds and Hips with patterns washed into the spot in Chechnya, anyone seen similar from Ukraine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 And that should read soot not spot... Anyways, notice the weathering on the Havoc, and Z, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steven H. McLain Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Dear Sirs, I believe the color is called Eggplant Gray. Hataka makes paint for it: A-230 Dark Eggplant Gray, A-296 Faded Dark Eggplant Gray. At one time I had references to the colors but I don't know where it is. I'll try to find it and let everyone know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steven H. McLain Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I found that Revell-Germany says to use the following: 60% #9 Anthracte Grat plus 40% #302 Semi-Gloss Black Quote Link to post Share on other sites
