                        I have an Aoshima Minsk carrier that I'm looking to build; but everything's in Japanese!!! Now, I can understand the assembly pictures; but I have no way of telling the proper colors to use. Especially, the topside shades of brown and green! Any tips?

                        I cant suggest any colors off the top of my head, but perhaps try an image search of the ship and eyeball some matches from among the paints you have or have available.

                        White Ensign Models makes a series of paints which are very accurate for modern Soviet ships.

                        See WhiteEnsignModels.com for their line of Colourcoat paints
