You're referring to the incorrect olive green paint color, I presume?

I assumed that the skin was a variant of the Japanese 1940 camouflage, rather than incorrectly-painted Russian camouflage with Japanese markings.

As for use of the incorrect "acid green" AMT-4 by non-Ex-Soviet/EX-Warsaw Pact skinners, it's ignorance rather than malice. The best sources for Soviet aircraft are in Russian, and translation programs work poorly when translating technical terms - when they work at all. In some cases, people in Western Europe and North America are still using books published during the Cold War, when Soviet military archives were closed to foriegners.

Even if you're working from a good color picture and you use the colors shown, you're at the mercy of the artist's research and the problems of color photography and printing if the image was taken from a book or photograph.

I think the skin looks good, even if the colors aren't factory specified. The artist gets credit for doing an unusual skin for a plane which isn't as popular, as say, the Bf109 series. (Another Bf109 skin? They only made 35,000 of them! :lol

The Manchurian-Siberian border during 1942-44, when the Japanese and Soviets were nominally neutral towards each other. In at least one case a Soviet pilot defected and took his plane with him. I think there were a couple of other cases where Soviet pilots got lost or suffered mechanical trouble while patrolling the border.

Very nice and unusual subject!

Yes, it all about green paint.
No, it was standard '41 soviet scheme with owerpainted hinomarus.
In the rest I agree with you. I have tried to help, having shown as much as possible authentic table of paints. This table has been developed by experts who had access to archival documents and the rests of planes. They developed it within several years. One of them has died before the book has been printed.
I think that it is the most authentic source for colours of the Soviet aircraft and i hope it will help "west" skinners.

ololo,
Sorry about the incorrect green tune,
but if you could send me the RGB value or the hexcode of the "right" green, I can correct it in a second version.

About the link Mr Jolly is always busy as he has lots of work to do so send the links etc to Zeppo or Harpia and they'll do it for you. They don't have as much work on their hands.

Follow the link that Ololo provided, about halfway down the first page you'll see the color swatches you need.

Sort of bump.

That's a very handy table of colors. It would be nice if it could become a "sticky" post or get listed under modeling resources.
