| Hi Mate, Unfortumately these tonalities of colours depend on a period of time/year etc...Could you give us more details about your MiG-3? Or have a look at the site. MiG-3 family

| The kit i will be working on is the Encore 1/72 kit with the True Detail resin addon .It gives decals for the 6 IAK Moscow Defence Zone 1942 .12 Guards Moscow 1942 and AV Shlopov Moscow ,but all these are in the winter camoflauge. I wish to do mine in anything but white .Any info on cocpit colours will be a great help as im not sure even of dashboard colours.Thanks again Dziekuje |
