Latin American Aircraft Group Build

You got it Vance. I will add you to the roster. Welcome aboard!

I'm in, with.... something in 1/72 scale?? Will settle on something as I clear a few things off my bench.

Hey, Mahogany, good suggestion Stik. I've got the blue covered. Gunze H323 with some RLM 65 mixed in. in the decal sheet it shows the nose cone covered up, but in this still vid shot I took, it seems the nose cone is unconventionally painted white, or light gray?? I've only seen mig nose cones in light and bright greens...other pics of cuban migs show green as well.

In the Gunze line up these would be my suggestions:RAF Dark Green, RAF Dark Earth, & Mahogany. Not sure about the lighter green, perhaps the JGSDAF Dark green might work, but it does appear a bit too light from that photo. Hard to say for certain. As for the bottom blue, If Gunze doesn't have a light blue that will work, Tamiya has a nice bright sky blue shade that should work.

Cant' wait for this to start! My decals should come any day, but I've been wondering on the Cuban Mig Camo for this bird, 668:

I've been looking at the decal instructions online and they are pretty vague, only listing generic FS numbers that have no real associated names to the colors:

But I can barely tell that it is a 5 color camo job. The topside appear to be 2 greens-medium green and a dark green. But what Dark green would work? RAF Dark green close? RLM 83? And then 2 Browns-RedBrown? and a sand color? What sand color? Dark earth close? RLM 79 close? Anyone have suggestions or knowledge in this area? I'm using Gunze paints but can sure cross ref from other brands that might have colors specific to this sheme.

You have been added. We now have 8!!!

Add me if you will stikpusher...I'll be building a 1/144 scale P-51 in El Salvador A.F. colors from the Soccer War.

Lo Siento I did not see there were two threads.

Bienvenidos bigua, you have been added to the roster ;-)

No, he had expressed interest in the feeler thread I put out a few months back. I sent all those who did a PM to invite them here, including bigua.

Welcome, Bigua!
