One of the more interesting (for me) releases of colors in the
White Ensign Models Colourcoats series is this set recreating many
of the colors used by the Soviet Air Force during WW2.
If I understand the process correctly, these colors were recreated
from paint chips that were acquired during the research that led
to the book
"Soviet Air
Force Fighter Colours 1941-1945" by Erik
Pilawskii and illustrated by Chris Banyai-Riepl.
If you look at the colors
on the top of these tins, you're looking at quite a few colors
that haven't been available from any manufacturer prior to this.
The eighteen colors in this series include:
- ACS01 - AII Blue
- ACS02 - AMT7 Blue
- ACS03 - AII Green
- ACS04 - AII/AMT Black
- ACS05 - WUP Interior Primer
- ACS06 - IMUP Metal Primer
- ACS07 - ALG-5 Metal Primer
- ACS08 - AMT-4 Olive-Green
- ACS09 - AMT-1 Light Gray
- ACS10 - AMT-1 Dark Gray
- ACS11 - AMT-11 Blue-Gray
- ACS12 - AMT-12 Dark Gray
- ACS13 - Tractor Green
- ACS14 - AE9 Gray
- ACS15 - AII Light Brown
- ACS16 - AII Dark Brown
- ACS17 - 4BO Army Green
- ACS18 - AII Dark Green
If you want to paint your Accurate Miniatures Il-2 Sturmovik or
Gavia Lavochkin in authentic VVS colors, then you'll want to pay
a visit to the White Ensign Models' website soon!
My sincere thanks to White
Ensign Models for these review samples!
