Title: Blue-Grey Post by: mbittner on February 25, 2012, 02:44:58 AM Anybody have a "close-enough" acrylic out-of-the-bottle match (preferably Polly Scale, but anything else in a pinch) for the blue-grey found on the La-150 and La-174? I have the Prop & Jet kits, and am looking for a good match.
TIA!

a colour sample of La-156 wing preserved at Harkov HAI (from scalemodels.ru forum): (http://storage6.static.itmages.ru/i/11/1031/h_1320005288_4624179_76efa31882.jpeg) Title: Re: Blue-Grey Post by: mbittner on February 29, 2012, 03:03:20 AM Awesome, thanks for that.
It looks like I can start with a British PRU blue, and add some grey to it. So, forgive my ignorance, the research shows that these early Soviet jets were finished in this blue-grey? Even MiG-9s and Yak-15/17s? As I'm just recently getting back into building Soviet/Russian aviation (mostly post-WW2 for the foreseeable future) please forgive my questions.

Musa says use FS 36463 Vallejo produce a 'Sky Grey' no. 154 which is supposed to represent this Alternatively I have seen a mixture of 3 parts Humbrol H34 and 2 parts Humbrol H126 suggested. I used roughly equal parts on my La 150 see http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=1347.0 John |
