Title: color of the Sukhoi SU-5 Post by: xan on October 10, 2011, 12:15:45 PM Hello!
a friend of mine started the Sukhoi Su-5 at 1/72 scale. (http://fredericschaeffer.perso.neuf.fr/maquette/sukhoi%20su5/mini/boite.jpg) I don't know much about post war colors but I know that some fighters were painted in gree/blue AMT-4 (AGT-4) /AMT-7 (A-28m) colours and some were painted in grey/blue AMT12/AMT-7 Do to you think that green could be the right colour for that prototype or grey would be better ?

Il-10s were green, this is sure. Regards Massimo Title: Re: color of the Sukhoi SU-5 Post by: xan on October 10, 2011, 02:29:52 PM there was surely oficial instructions about fighters and bombers...

From the same author and from the same times: (http://www.navylabs.ru/i/avia/su6/su6.jpg) Although, photographic reference shows that some Su prototypes were camouflaged (http://crimso.msk.ru/Images6/AM/AM00-5/38-1.jpg) (http://crimso.msk.ru/Images6/IA/IA00-4/25-1.jpg) |
