Hi guys,

I got both the sets "Russian Greens - 1956 to present" and "Modern Russian Colors" from Ammo Mig.

However, I'm not sure which colour to use for a Soviet era (80s) vehicle.

What I have:

053 - Protective NC 1200 (which I think it's better used on my T-90A because it's a very dark green)
056 - Green Khaki (KHS-5146) ---> Maybe this one for an 80s T-72 or T-80B, for example?)
058 - Light Green Kakhi (PKHV-512)
083 - Zashchiitniy Zeleno XB 518
932 - Russian Green Base (ZIS 508)

Any ideas?

Here's your answer gents. Download this pamphlet. It lists each color, when it was released, and when it was used. Also samples of each color side by side.

You're welcome Ricardo! I'm glad I could be of help, and Mig just published that pamphlet last week! Your timing is perfect!
