Thanks guys. I still need to find the proper Soviet colors for their early ICBM's. I know it was something similar to our OD or even Medium Green, but not quite. And the warhead was probably a different color, such as white or natural metal, as would be the nozzles. I have seen the same booster as used to loft the first Sputnik, but it was not painted the same as the nuke-tipped SS-6's, which were scarcely produced before being replaced.
As for the Atomic City capsule, it's fantastic, and just what we needed to get attention for space subjects, but I've been sitting on mine for almost a year now waiting for aftermarket parts to come out for it. There's a lot of empty space in there, and we all know there was no unused space in the real thing. So besides a lot of scratchbuilt wiring harnesses, somebody should do a good PE set and some resin for this thing. I also have the excellent decal sheet and the Nautilus stands for this model (if you haven't seen them, they make a stand for posing it either vertically or another stand for horizontal display). These stands are quite nice, and for a kit this good, and this pricey, it's pretty inconceivable that the instructions tell you to rest it on the retro pack. That pretty bush league.
