Very unusual scheme. Thank you. Edited May 18, 2018 by 28ZComeback Spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hello Take a look at this page of our member Massimo Tessitori. There are several photos of Tu-2S White 6 which may have inspired the model on the link you provided. I have no idea about the camouflage colours, though. Cheers Jure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Tessitori Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hi, there are many photos (the majority, perhaps) that show the wings of Tu-2s as light. It is not clear if this is because they were really painted light brown, or it is a matter of fading. On the same photos, the fuselages, tails and engines show camouflages with much higher contrast.

Roman Schilhart Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I have built my 1/72 ICM Tu-2 in exactly that colors. I used a color profile from a book by Jason Nicholas Moore: https://www.amazon.de/Tupolev-Tu-2-Forgotten-Medium-Bomber/dp/178155532X Unfortunately I have no background info about the purpose of that scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
