Soviet Air force

[Pilot]

Evgeny Velichko- I on your side. before Eric i have read some other researchers and even get the the list of the Soviet industrial chart with the today standards of the WW2 colors [they are still producing]. Also I have seen some Soviet colors and I have one in my collection. This is dark blue grey top side color for the fighter airplanes. This color is dark blue grey, not medium dark green blue as I have seen on his profiles and descriptions.

Must say that he has done a lot of work and his book look nice but I did not know that it have that much errors.

Cheers

Srecko,
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.
what about this paint chip in your collection?
has it been chemically tested for solvent base and pigment?
what paint family does it match?
was it a primer or a finish coat?
where has this paint been for 60 years? and what conditions were it under?
heat,humidity, salinity etc...? underground? underwater?
