Right I though you meant the pre WWII colours when you txt me  :banghead:

Sorry about that mate
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

DP Casper do a decal sheet (72001) for the new Czech colour schemes and they give the following as the FS matches for the colours:

36270 Medium Grey
36118 Dark Grey
34096 Dark Green
36375 Light Ghost Grey (Undersides)

Legato did a decal sheet for the An-26 in the new scheme and provided the following Humbrol matches:

H140 Gull Grey
H106 Ocean Grey
H150 Forest Green
H147 Light Grey (Undersides)

Looking at photos of the real things, I'd be inclined to use Humbrol 87 instead of 106 but that's just an unscientific guess.

Edit - Just looked at the date of your original post and it looks like this information is probably too late. Sorry about that.

I started a Revell Kamov Ka-58 a few years ago and never completed it, I was going to finish it in Czech colours.  I got the colours from IPMS Stockholm which recommend:

36270 Medium Grey                                   H126
36118 Dark Grey                                       H125
34096 Dark Green                                     Not sure, think I was planning on using H155?
36375 Light Ghost Grey (Undersides)          H127

By accident I found Halfords grey primer is a very good match for H126, when I brushed on the paint over the primer I could hardly see where I was going, it was that good a match.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
