Soviet Air force

[Pilot]

Kurlannaiskos

are you trying to tell me that the C.I.S. is still producing World War Two colors?
what on Earth would they want to do that for? the needs of a modern jet-powered air force are vastly dis-similar to the propeller-driven aircraft of the past.

I don't tell you I just have info from some very good sources. And and and and... in the UK is still manufactured the same colors as they are established in the early '30. Today for excample Sky is used today in furniture manufacturing too. So what is problem if this colors are made later in Soviet Union [I mean on WW2 colors]. I have somewhere chart with conversion of the WW2 paints into the modern industrial Soviet chart.

Sample I have is taken after 50 years, exctracted from the leading edge of the elevon. Place was all time in the shadow and away from the any actuator so keep safe from grease. This is final top coat. I have few color images of one other Soviet fighter in preservation with visible topcoat colors and they also also very close to sample I have. I never heard dark dark blue grey was used as primer. There was light blue in this place among the other paints. Sample I have never was under ground, under water... Maybe in some future will make some work in this field.

It is not my intention to talk and analyze anybodys work but just state that at quick view things are not match.

Cheers
