Raymond Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hiya! this seems the most efficient place to put this: discovered tamiya make a lacquer spray that's a pretty decent representation of that horrid soviet cockpit colour often found in migs! TS-41 coral blue :) this is great for those who cant get MM or xtracrylics or want a quick dry cockpit colour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 That's awfully close! Or spot on! Ray, you've used the Xtracrylics Soviet cockpit colour? Is it worth it? I didn't know (or recall) that they have one. No MM available here, but my LHS stocks Xtracrylics. I have a bottle of WEM Soviet cockpit colour but it just seems too pale, just like MM.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Nice! For the record, in the 1990's I was shocked to discover almost the same color in the cockpits of Continental Airlines' MD-80 fleet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, MiG-29 is copy of F-16! (someone really said this here on ARC while being serious...)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 i do wonder if spending hours in a cockpit with this colour, makes the rest of the world look desaturated! a mig-29 is a twin f-16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonehammer73 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) i do wonder if spending hours in a cockpit with this colour, makes the rest of the world look desaturated! :) Tch... tch. Same derogative misassumptions as always. It is known that famous Soviet neurologist, Sergej Smerdyakov, after years of research, found this color the best for avoiding bad habit of relying on instruments and forcing pilot sight never to fixate on object for long, instead looking always out of cockpit for incoming capitalist fighters? Also, bonus point: number of stolen paint cans at factory and ending at black market was much reduced. Thus Smerdyakov in 1968 was awarded Order of Lenin with kiss on both cheeks and pat on shoulder.
