Su 22UG & Su 22F (pg 2) - PDRV Republican Guard.

Thanks Comrade.
I once again failed to write down which paints I used on the MiG as you will see by the fact some on the Sukhoi don't quite match.
Wrote them down this time though.  The Tan on the Sukhoi is a blend of Vallejo Pale Sand and Panzer Olive and it's such a nice shade i'm tempted to paint a whole plane with it.

Those look really good - especially the mean Sukhoi!

Thanks Mac.

Very nice Fred, a favourite soviet era chunk. The Polish have only just retired theirs, which says how robust they really are.

You're starting to give comrade harps a run for his money on cool camo's, Fred!

[Weaver]

Very nice!   

What paint did you use on the underside Fred? The sheen makes it look very like the Montana spray paint I've used a couple of times in the past (most recently on the MUSTARD glider).

Thanks Phill.  All Valejo Model Air acrylics brush painted.  I used RLM shades which may be why they go together well.

Thanks, I take that as a compliment.  Glen has a better eye for colour than me and has come up with some great designs.
