Title: Summary of VVS Colours Post by: John Thompson on May 31, 2020, 01:19:16 PM I found this on another forum - it has a "comic book" appearance, but it's a pretty neat summary of colours and camouflage for anyone who just wants a basic easy-reference.

I wonder if the author would be willing to make corrections...

apart for the EP-style errors, the idea of a simplified diagram isn't bad, I could easily do one.

It would tie in well with the "Painting standards evolution" page.
John Title: Re: Summary of VVS Colours Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 10, 2020, 12:24:36 PM Hi,
I've uploaded a quick guide to the painting. http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/quickguide/quickguide.htm (http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/quickguide/quickguide.htm) It is not at all as quick as other ones, but it is certainly better. To be more useful, one should make a table with color chips comparison, a very big work. Something has already be done in the past, but not a definitive work.

Simple and concise. Title: Re: Summary of VVS Colours Post by: John Thompson on June 10, 2020, 04:50:50 PM Nice work! Thank you, Massimo - I bookmarked it immediately.

very good and useful work. Excelent. 66misos Title: Re: Summary of VVS Colours Post by: Massimo Tessitori on June 11, 2020, 09:10:31 AM Thank you, I'm happy that it is appreciated. Now the big work would be a table of matches. Some partial works have already be done, the problem is not only to collect it (with credits) but also to check the consistence between different matches of the same color.
