looks good. I suppose that the shades could be darker, being built before 1936. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Tupolev TB-3 profile Post by: 66misos on May 08, 2017, 02:03:18 PM Hi Massimo,
thank you. Regarding colors here are possible alternatives from http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/color-table.html (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/color-table.html) (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/chips/earlycamogreen.jpg) “Zashchitnyi”* khaki , Upper surfaces - metal (TB-1, TB-3, R-6) or fabric/wood (R-5, U-2), 1927-1937 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/chips/3Bdarkgreen.jpg) 3B dark green, oil Army paint, sometimes used on metal planes (TB-3), 1933-37 (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/chips/AE7.jpg) AE-7 (zashchitnyi) gloss camouflage green, overall uppersurfaces of metal planes, Oil enamel, Specification issued in 1936-37 "My" plane was during VVS already several years old, so paint could be weathered or whatever else. It is something between khaki and dark green, looks like darker AE-7 sample. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Tupolev TB-3 profile Post by: Massimo Tessitori on May 08, 2017, 02:26:14 PM Hi Misos,
I am not sure, but I would choose the second one. The shade of AE-7 is not known yet, I think that it's very dark, could be that it is as army 3B. The undersurfaces should be rather dark too. I guess something as AMT-7 or a bit more greyish. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Tupolev TB-3 profile Post by: 66misos on May 08, 2017, 03:33:50 PM Hi Massimo,
so I changed both green and blue color. Here is the corrected profile: (http://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1303884) For comparison I left also previous one in my post above in the meantime. I will delete it latter to have only one, correct profile. Thank you. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Tupolev TB-3 profile Post by: Massimo Tessitori on May 08, 2017, 09:38:55 PM Hi Misos, so it looks more convincing to my eye.

great photos. Pity that the relict is uncomplete, a restoration would have been great. I don't see traces of paint inside the structure, even where the metal is protected to rain and sun. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Tupolev TB-3 profile Post by: 66misos on May 09, 2018, 06:42:59 PM Hi Massimo,
all interior parts look to me like unpainted either oxided alluminium or zinced steel. Note also unpainted coroded steel parts. There are no traces of the yellowish primer and steelgrey A-14.
