Soviet/Russian cockpit colours

[rickshaw]

I've noticed over the years that Soviet/Russian aircraft cockpits are painted a sort of bilious green colour.  Does anybody know the FS number or even an approximation in Humbrol/Tamiya colours?

There is no real Humbrol equivalent, but you might mix 65 with 88. Not certain about Tamiya.

There's a respective enamel from Modelmaster/Testors available, though, from the Authentic line, which is not available everywhere, though.

It's a sort of greeny blue colour.

Apparently it's meant to be relaxing for the flight crews but I think it's a product of the same Soviet paint plant that made that awful green they use on all their landing gear wheels. I'm pretty sure that some apparatchik got a decimal point in the wrong place when they made those mixes and produced BILLIONS of litres when it should only have been thousands......

Any idea as to the Testors colour?

Apparently the wheel colour is because they are all produced in the same place and prior to WWII the factory made tractors. Come WWII and they used the same paint and no ones managed to get them to change it yet  If it ain't broke don't fix it

There's now a Russian company producing accurate colours

I was hoping my friends here would come through, and they did!  Thanks.

However, there appears to be nothing comparable in any of the acrylics (my preferred type) I can find downunder.  Bugger!   

Having however done a bit more research I find that Chinese aircraft don't use that colour!  Hurrah!  I am saved for the moment!

www.WhiteEnsignModels.com have a very nice range of WW2 and Modern Soviet/Russian colours. ACSM07 Interior Turquoise would be the colour you're after. I use the enamels, not sure if they do acrylic.

I have also used PRU Blue (the Humbrol tone has a rather turquoise touch) for Soviet/Russian cockpits. Looks good, too, and is not as mind-boggling as the "real" cockpit tone.

Enamels only, very good I must say though

Another good match for Russian cockpit green is Vallejo's Emerald. I've used it a few times now and it looks very close to the real thing.

Which is acrylic.  The Victorian Hobby Centre in Melbourne carry Vallejo
