dalea Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 While pursuing the Blue theme raised by Pinback re the P-6E, I noted the paucity of photos of this aircraft on the net, all in B&W, naturally. There are photos on the net of models in Yellow (bleached linen , I presume) and light grey (faded linen, I presume) and red. Our own Andrew S has a beautiful example which follows Micro- Mir's painting instructions. Can anyone confirm the Blue or is this modern Ukrainian patriotism in an aversion to anything Red?

Jure Miljevic Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hello dalea Unfortunately, I cannot neither confirm nor deny any of possible Khai-3 colour schemes. However, blue wings on Micro-Mir kit may not be a modern day invention. Here are drawings of Khai-1, published in Technika-molodezhi magazine in September 1978, found on this webpage. Drawings of blue trimmed Khai-1 has been published elsewhere and later this aircraft also sported blue nose, engine cowling and wing leading edges. All these does not necessarily apply to Khai-3, however it does show that blue had been used on Khai aircraft at the time. Cheers Jure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
