Hi guys,

I am currently building the Trumpeter kit and wanted to have a slightly different camo than what is provided in the instructions and I doing a Czech vehicle in the 3 color tone of Light green, dark green and black.

I'm also looking for info on the color of the missile in the attached link picture. Looks like an emerald kind of green. I'm pretty bad at matching picture color to paint color and was wondering if anyone wouldn't have any information on this color and maybe, a match in one of the major brand?

Also, is this a live missile or a training missile? Would it be possible to have a mix of different colored missile on the same launcher.

Thanks guys,

Chris

Unfortunately, this is not so easy!
The former exported missiles basically made ​​two versions, vintage , of modernization depends on what colors.
First export version of the missile and (this is the kit is just wrong size ) 3M9ME type " make " this gray nose radome ( such as the MiG -23 , 29) , all aerodynamic elements are all of the missiles . The Arab countries and the former Czechoslovakia, a white -bodied rockets this variant . The desert does not heat up as much.
The second version of the export 3M9M3E is more advanced , a white radome , the rear aerodynamic components at the factory equipped with the container and you just have to fold before use. As a different body color is light green .

Thank you Eduard and Juhász,

but I'm not looking for spot on accuracy here, considering the kits numerous flaws. I basically just want this kit done! I just thought that the color in my picture looked way coolr than the green one in the instructions!

Cheers, and again, thank you!

Thanks ChiefGunner for the info, but I was already aware of those 2 sets and didn't have time to order them before the end of the campaign!

Cheers,
