1935-2016 Mythical Russian Greens Acrylic Paint Set

Mig AMMO

 

 

Russian Green has a different meaning depending on many factors, including era, factory, whether the vehicle has been repainted in the field, the effects of weather conditions on the pigments etc.  It's a subject that causes much head-scratching, and more than a few arguments on the internet.  Mig's researchers have done their research in an attempt to simplify this process for you, but as always there is always room for exceptions to any rule.  The paint set arrives in the by-now-familiar card box with a header for display, and inside are six 17ml dropper bottled with yellow caps, and a small ball-bearing to aid in paint mixing during agitation.  Also included is a little booklet that describes the evolution of Russian armour paint colours, with the aid of a timeline diagram and on the back side (not pictured) are some profiles with the base colours shown for example.

 

 

Included in the box are the following six shades:

 

Name	Paint Code
Russian Green	A.MIG-019
Alkidno Uretanovaya	A.MIG-022
Protective Green	A.MIG-023
Protective NC 1200	A.MIG-053
Dark Green	A.MIG-915
Russian Base	A.MIG-932

 

 

 

There are some ten shades mentioned in the booklet in total that have been used over the years in Soviet/Russian armour, and as this set only contains six shades, you will need to pick up a few more in addition, the numbers for which are below:

 

Name	Paint Code
XB 518 Zashchitney Zeleno	A.MIG 083
Russian Green Middle East Camo	A.MIG 931
KHS 5146 Green Khaki	A.MIG 056
PKHV 512 Camo Light Green Khaki	A.MIG 058
