I am building a sweet mig-25 Foxbat from Revell, great fun by the way.

Color question, what color of grey does it need to be. In terms of Model Master colors.
What color grey would work out?

She will be in Russian markings if that helps.

Thanks

Chip, I'd refer you to the Aircraft Resource Center for that one of nobody else jumps in. Nothing but aircraft there and I know several guys will be able to help you. Nice site too. Good luck. "Q"

Looks like you have some choices ?

That's the first good pic of a camo one I've seen.
For the "standard" grey overall version The paint reference I found says:
Primary / Overall FS36375 (Gray)
Humbrol 127, Xtracolor 136, PollyS 500836, Gunze H308, or Testors 1728
Darker panels FS36231 (Gray)
Humbrol 140, Tamiya XF-54, Xtracolor 131, PollyS PCA 824, Gunze H57, or Testor 1740

Chip,

You might want to have a look at Wings palette. 58 profiles of Mig-25's. Some nice camo ones, if you don't want the standard grey.

The IPMS Stockholm website has a colorchart for Soviet aircraft.

Cheers.

Thanks guys for all your help, the camo versions look way better than the plain grey ones!
