Russian Navy Deck Colors
Posted by paintchips on Thursday, December 15, 2005 3:46 PM

I have a question for everyone; i currently purchased two waterline 1/700 scale russian ships, the Kiev and a Slava missile cruiser.  The paint scheem is different with the call out for an orange and green on the decks of the carrier, and red on the decks of the missile cruiser. 

Does anyone have any advice for the colors.  I use MM and Tamiya acrylic paints. 

Comments, links, advice are all welcome.

Thanks!

Thanks EdGrune, i will contact them and investigate.

By the way the Bismarck that i was working on came out great!  i am extremely happy with it, thank you for the advise on the weathering.  Next up i want to try two water line ships, i have been playing around with Liquitex light modeling paste for the waves, not too bad, just have to work on painting it now.

Any other links would be appreciated.

Thanks,

PC
