Late WW2 Soviet A F B*

Standard colours of Soviet planes from mid-1943 till end of war

According to the instruction issued in July 1943, a new painting schemes were introduced onto Soviet warplanes: the upper and side surfaces of all fighter aircraft were to be painted in Dark Grey / Blue Grey pattern, while all other types of aircraft wore Camouflage Green / Light Greyish Brown / Dark Grey scheme (the latter replaced with Black on Il-4s and Pe-8s). Lower surfaces of all late war period aircraft were to be painted with a Greyish Blue colour, with the exception of night bombers, which used Black paint instead.

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
