Nebbor Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Does anyone know what colors are used on the Belarus AF Su-30SM? Can't seem to find any decent matches. Any pointers appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Nice find! The blue and green blue look a lot like Su-34 and Su-30 Mki prototype colours. The "violet is new to me on any jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimpyboy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure if these are older colours, or perhaps Russia-specific colours, but do you think some of the colours in these sets may be a good starting point? 4 hours ago, exdraken said: The "violet is new to me on any jet. Do you think it could be a fresh version of the violet/grey on these Su-27U series birds? http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/652/pics/122_6_a1.jpg and And, for no particular reason, an excerpt from a Russian hobbyist magazine (М-Хобби), regarding some chap's build of an SU-30CM: Edited January 26, 2021 by Blimpyboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 here more photos: https://weaponews.com/images/2019/12/06/0010f8017097bde42c1ef6734d0b6af4.jpg https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9511746 https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9511457 https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9776376 https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9882685 the lighter blue could be the one from the Russian knight set: 73147 https://dukmodell.com/Paints-Weathering-Products/AKAN/Paint-Sets/Russian-Modern-Air-Force-Russian-Knights::14395.html the darker one the one from the MKI 73021 or the Russian Knights 73148 the violet one, sorry, no idea.... but without actually seeing the colors next to each other it is hard to tell... seem you will need to mix a bit yourself! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPuente54 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 AKAN/AKAH(Cyrillic) has a website that you can email for suggestions as to what paint colors are needed; they may have a set as shown in @Blimpyboy's posting. I do not remember AKAN's site; but, another member may. HTH Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebbor Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Thanks for the replies all! I've got several su27/34/35 colors from the MRP range but none match let alone be close enough. Good find for the Russian Knight blue but it only comes close to the (IMHO) over-saturated photo's found on the internet. Just compare the first and last links provided by exdraken to see the difference. And that shows how difficult it is to color match from photo's. There is no website I can find for AKAN. If some could provide me a way to directly contact AKAN it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
