Hello All,
I recently picked up a T-72 kit from Dragon. From the amount of dust the shopkeeper blew off the box when he pulled it off the shelf I'd say it's a pretty old kit (the date on the box says 1990, if that means anything). What I'm looking for is info on what the "standard" Soviet color scheme is/was. I'm stationed in Turkey and I've found only this one shop where I live and I don't feel like waiting for the mail (it can take up to three weeks to get a simple letter from home). My choices for paint brands are Testors, Humbrol, and a few Revell colors.
Can anyone out there help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanx
Mark
