Hi Folks

Quick one - I'm working on a Mig-21 and am wanting to mix the green/blue cockpit colour from either Humbrol enamels or Tamiya acrylic - does anyone know what colours/ratio I should start with?

THANKS!!!

Try "Xtra color" X 629 Blue/Green Soviet Interior.

Otherwise, the color is usually referred to as Turquoise. I'll try to find the mixture ratio.

Thanks - I know thats the easy option - but my local shops don't stock Xtracolor, so I'm trying to do it the homemade way

I used Humbrol 109 plus two coats of emerald ink (I used Winsor & Newton but any would probably do it). You can see the result in the Swing-Wing campaign thread - mine's the MiG-23MS.
