Hey guys

I've just finished preparing my model of the Kirov for the first stage of painting before I start building the superstructure

The paint chart from Trumpeter says insignia red, and I have looked at the LHS fro that color, and all versions I see seem way too bright and vivid when compared to photos of the real ships

I was wondering if any of you here can suggest a color combination or actual color to use

Chandler, use WEM Colourcoat - M13 - Russian Deck Red, it's the actual colour needed.
