                        Just got my yak 25 and Sukhoi 11 and i am wondering would they be painted in blue or should I go with the instructions that show two shades of grey. Just wanting to get it right.

                        Most likely the gray is correct. The Blue Green color was more of a 60s/70s (Mig-21 thru Mig-27) era shade. Stuff before and after then tended be in various grays from what I have been able to find on image searches of various Soviet Cockpits.

                        Russian cockpit colors, lol.   If you follow Trumpeter's color call-outs, the Russians used more shades of grey than did the USN...

                        Best bet is to find some color reference pics, or failing that give it a Scientific Wild-A** Guess as to what looks appropriate.  (this is my personal methodology)

                        It's neither of those mentioned, but here's an unrestored MiG-15 cockpit from the War Eagles museum outside of El Paso:
