Daniel Leduc Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I everyone, I have this baby on stall for a few years now, and my initial projet with it was to go for that paint scheme.... But got all confused and excited when I found those pictures....... and by all those, I'm pretty much sure that it should be more down the greenish side than the brown, don't you think..? (Yeah I know the Fishbed could be fun too....) This one end up restored with those colors, can't find any info others than those pictures,. Does anyone have this info about what those colors shoul be or have been. Thanks for any help. Dan. Ivan Ivanovich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 If you look at photos of DDR Mig 21MF's, they've aged, colour-wise, in a similar fashion, so you could do worse than follow these paint suggestions. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Yeap, exactly my thought.... I'll go with XF-72 and H-60 or XF-13. it should come out more realistic. Tks. Kage.

Ivan Ivanovich Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) For what it's worth... "335" and "391" had the tactical camouflage applied many years after the MiG-19 had been retried from active service in May 1969. "335" serving as gateguard at Preschen (until 1980): The tactical camouflage was applied after 1980 when "335" was transferred to the "Traditionsvorstartlinie Bautzen" museum. Colours: Olivgruen 2425 aka "Chlorbunagruen", Ck-Braunoliv, Ck-Hellgraublau: Active-service LSK/LV MiG-19PM -> partial aluminised topcoat/varnished NMF.

Gazzas Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So...while serving with the DDR they were NMF and not the funky camo scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 These are a great series of books for period photos of DDR aircraft, I have the one on the Mig 21F-13/U, which has mostly black and white pictures.

Ivan Ivanovich Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) The German DHS/F-40 series is an authoritative reading when it comes to Bundesluftwaffe (F-40) and NVA LSK/LV (DHS) subjects. 2 hours ago, Gazzas said: So...while serving with the DDR they were NMF and not the funky camo scheme? Exactly. No such funky camo schemes on LSK/LV MiG-19s. Partial NMF -> Chemically milled skin structures had an aluminsed topcoat applied, followed by an overall gloss clear varnish. The dielectric covers of the RP-2U radar were finished in Mittelblau/Medium Blue. Mittelblau 1667: Photograph of "335" taken in 1969 after its retirement from active service (prior to being sent to Preschen): Note: Typical Soviet-style tactical number in red with black outline instead of the regular LSK/LV stencilled bort number application. (suggesting "335" had undergone PDM at the Odessa overhaul facility not too long ago) Edited October 18, 2018 by Ivan Ivanovich Gazzas, Alain Gadbois and Daniel Leduc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ivan, it's great to have you and your knowledge in the forum. Thank you! Gaz Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The national markings are incorrect on the profile, they should be as this, basically black on the left, next red, then yellow. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
