Colour Advice Needed

[lancer]

I'm posting this here in because I know I'm gonna get a decent answer. I need to know what the blue colour is that Yak 38's were painted in. It'd be kinda good if I could get the Humbrol or equivalent colour reference as well.
Thanks in advance guy's.

P.S - If all anigrand kits are as badly misaligned as my Yak 141, then I'm surprised that they are as popular as they are. Ok, rant set off, notin the best of moods today

Those blue Yak 141's!  

Methuen4631 is a start, if that doesn't fit the bill for you, Polly Scale make a Vinyl Blue that is very close.

If you have an A-Model version then they tend to quote Humbrol colours. However if your doing the operational Yak 141 then the forgers went a light grey at the start of the 90's instead of the Blue grey.

Yeap the horizontal split on the Yak 141 is not good compared with there usual standard which is why i encouraged Colin to request a vertical split on the HS P1154 RAF.

Thanks for the info gent's it's been real helpful.

Oh, horvic, it wasn't just the horizontal split of the fuselage. The intakes were bloody awful as well. They needed a lot of building up with plastic card before they were square enough to fit and blend in.
