What are the correct deck and hull colors for the Soviet Kirov battle cruisers? I am building the Trumpeter 1/700 scale Kirov (first pressing). Is there any good resources available? Is White ensign available here in the states?

Thanks

Hi Scott

Yes, I would advise WEM Colourcoats range:
WEMCC M13 Russian Navy Deck Red (decks)
WEMCC M11 Russian Northern Fleet Grey (vertical surfaces)
WEMCC M** (sorry got a blotch of paint over it) Russian Navy Deck Green (where needed)

Hope this helps

Ahoy, Scott!

Rui hit the nail spot on, mate, and to answer your second question, yes WEM Colourcoats are available in the US...try these:

Battlefleet Models

Snyder and Short


And for a good online reference thread, try this one!

Thanks. Are there any color matches for more current paints like model master or Humbrol available? How about mixing ratios to custom mix paint. I would rather try to use what I have in my vast (over 300 jars) assortment. Thanks again
