as I prepare for my jaunt to Fairford to watch the wingy thingy's. Anyway does anyone know a good colour match for Post-War Soviet armour please.
As I want to slap some paint on my T-72 before I go any further with it!
Regards Daz

Green, any green that looks right.

Try looking on white ensign models webby they have good armour colour matches


Ed

Ok Ed
I've got their British Armour colours. I used them on my Challenger 2, so I think I should invest in the Soviet ones.
Thanx again Ed.

they all look different daz , the East German where different to the Russian colours
the E German ones look a bright green

No worries mate


Have fun at RIAT

Ok Sean. but what about Iraqi ones were they in a darker green or the lighter green?
Thanx Ed I will!
Regards Daz

I really don't know Daz , Seen one painted with Tammy xf65
what colour you got on the revell sheet for the green ??

Revell say to use Matt 68 Bronze Green for the East German one. Or if I was to do the Iraqi one they say a mix of Matt 89 Beige + Weiss Matt 5 for the sand colour.
Now I'm even more confused lol!

Ok just checked out IPMS Stockholm for Revell 68 Not listed so let me look somewhere else
i saw an E german 2 tone on wikepedia that was black and green camo
the green looked like humbrol 150 forest green ,
but let me check out something else 1st

ok Daz Found this

Ok Sean
What colour is that?

Thats Revell 68 Dark Green
Now let me get my tins of Humbrol out

Well ok Now I Think this is My finnish T54 coming back to haunt me here

now i know i used one of these humbrol paints for it
150
30
102
putting the tin up to the screen it looks like humbrol 102
but humbrol 30 looks a bit dull and 150 looks a bit faded
but those colours are in that bracket

hope that helps sort of

Hi Sean
I might go with Humbrol 150 to give it that faded look
Cheers mate
Regards Daz

BUT check out some T-72'S on the web first see what you think ,

Ok mate I will.
I'll do a Googly search!

Daz Hold it dont go with that colour
I found a conversion chart

HUMBROL TO REVELL

Hi Sean
The Humbrol equivalent of Revell 68 is Matt 30, so I might go with that now!
Cheers for the help mate
Regards Daz

Saying 163 = 68
The humbrol colour is first on the list , but Humbrol 30 is Slightly lighter and Brighter than 163
Either should work ok

Ok mate
Thank you so much for your help!
Regards Daz

No Probs
I had the same Problem when I did the Finnish version of a T-54 in Tri Camo
ps i sent the link for the conversion chart in a PM
I just saved it comes in handy

It sure does Sean
Thanx again
