I did this build for the GB since it was allied and had a yellow tail. According to some sources it might have been white/light grey. And, although there are some nice reference pictures of this aircraft, there is also discussion to which squadron it belonged and where it was based… :hmm:

So I worked on the bases of reference pictures and different books to give my interpretation of red 6. Modifications made: home cast resin seat and exhaust pipes, radio mast and the shape of the canopy. Wheel covers are off as per reference pictures.
Main paints used are AKAN, they have very good paints for Soviet aircraft.

I've heard good things on Akan paints for authentic Russian colors. In fact, I have a couple bottles myself. I can get them through Linden Hill Imports.

I get mine at the aviationmegastore, that is just a fifteen minutes drive from my office! That place is magical, it is so large that they have got a sailplane, a Dakota cockpit and a PZL Iskra jet trainer inside!
