OlegTheMeerkat Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I'm making a 1/144 il2, and it didn't come with any painting instructions. So I had a look around online for humbrol colours but couldn't find any. I only really use humbrol so if anyone knows the closest number for Russian colours that will be nice. If anyone does know could you just give me a list. Edited August 15, 2016 by OlegTheMeerkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) This is a good site which covers all the VVS colours, though they only ever did the blues and greens for Humbrol. There's a good list of all the VVS colour and if you have a calibrated monitor you could probably work some of the others out. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/colors/colors.html Edited August 15, 2016 by Tbolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Starmer Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I just spent a lot of time trying to mix Russian colours based on materiel on the Soviet warplanes forum and Hornat's 'Colours of the Falcons'. I came up with these. For the early two coloured scheme, all Humbrols; Green AII 1 x 225 + 2 x 117, then black 2 x 33 + 1 x 112. For the mid-war three coloured scheme; Green AMT-4 3 x 115 + 1 x 150 + 1 x 239; black as before then brown AMT-1; 2 x 159 +1 x 72 + 1 x 156. This colour varied according to Soviet colour patches so could be lighter. There were set patterns for these schemes which were broadly adhered to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Starmer Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You will find the patterns, the Soviets called them templates, on the sovietwarplanes website. By Tessatori Massimo. Lots of good material on there with pictures to back up the diagrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
