Which Mr. Paint colours for Su-39 (Su-25TM)?

[Jasonb13]

Hi all...

 

I asked this in the From Russia With Love GB thread but I thought I'd spread the net further.

 

I'm doing the Zvezda 1:72 Su-39 and I'm looking for the Mr. Paint equivalent of the following:

 

Model Master 1562 Flat Light Blue

Model Master 1594 Semigloss Blue

The light/grey blue lower colour, which the instructions say is 20% 1562 Flat Light Blue and 80% White

The green for the dielectic panels and wheels etc.

 

Mr. Paint have numerous shades of blue/grey, so it's hard for me to narrow it down. I've tried to contact Mr. Paint both via their website and on Facebook, but they haven't replied.

 

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

The best colour manufacturer choice for Soviet/Russian hardware is Akan.

They have a six-pack for Su-39. The water-soluble Akan acrylics are a top notch paints.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I was hoping to use Mr. Paint colours, but I think I'll actually use that Akan set for this build, and try Mr. Paint for a Flanker later in the year.

 

Thanks...
