Hi,
Iam currently working on an UAZ 469 from Military wheels in 1/35.
Is there someone who can tell me what colours/ markings the Soviets used in Afghanistan in the late 80īs?
1. DML often recommend 75%H320+25%H312 (Gunze Sangyo Colour); but I think itīs to light and also itīs semi gloss. I saw cars in the Inet that were darker green, but I donīt know what Tamiya Colour it would be!?
2. Can I make red stars on the front doors?

Hope I get an answer
