Hi guys,
Which color would you use for a Yak-3 cockpit? Eduard says it's fieldgrey, somehow i think its not correct...

Thx, Evgenij

Soviet aircraft were supposed to be a light grey-green but very often the factory used whichever light grey paint was available. I used RLM02 grau in mine and it looks okay. The colour police will never be able to prove that whichever colour you end up using is wrong.

RLM02 it is not good for Russian interior color. It was A-14, closest to it RGB #949a9b, http://colorserver.net/showcolor.asp?fs=26187, Humbrol H27 , Revell 32175 Stone Gray .

And AKAN color http://akan.ru/index.php/catalog?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=487&category_id=40&keyword=%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%B5%D1%80

I should have clarified that I used Tamiya RLM02, which is just about the colour you posted.
