Mike Esposito Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I'm building the Trumpeter J-7A and I was thinking of an PLA paint scheme... https://goo.gl/images/NphHxP Anybody know what color that is? Much obliged Edited March 31, 2018 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 There is a three-view at the bottom of page 1 at - http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww3/f/14/30/0 - that suggests overall FS 36357 Light Compass Ghost Grey for a Chinese Navy example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese Navy aircraft are painted to US paint standards? Interesting theory! Short of matching an example of paint to the actual aircraft your guess is as good as mine.

Vultures1 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That particular one looks white to me, with dark grey pylons - attractive! PLAAF has plenty of grey ones too though: Link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Yes. Maybe white with a few drops of ghost grey?? I wish Trumpeter would be more accurate with color callouts. The instructions for the PLAAF are for airframe aluminum. Edited April 2, 2018 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Chinese aircraft, obviously, aren't painted to US FS colors, apparently the FS color is a good match for the Chinese colors. I wonder if the Chinese have an equivalent to FS 595 that's published. Hmmmm… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 As we see on this photo: any difference with J-7 and early colour scheme J-8-I & J-8-II (but very strange colour shadow J-10!) : As I suppose, the early color scheme of the J-8 is no white, is something close to the weathering FS 36495: that was used on the early F-18 colour scheme. Late colour scheme J-8-II, J-7, as I suppose, identical J-10 colour. B.R. Serge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Not FS colour, but PLAN's J-7H(naval version of new wing J-7IV) is light grey looks like FS36320(or another FS36XXX, cannot remember). There are some more accurate drawing by Chinese authors on the site. For J-7A(in PLAAF serial code J-7I), it's overall white except initial prototypes.
