I know there's no such thing but I'm getting ready to do the chassis and interior of My BTR-152V build and need some guidance. Wiki puts this variant at 1955. Can anybody get me close. Tamiya if possible. Many thanks Lads, Jeff

It should be post war russian green. Many call Nato green as the closest call available... I'm going to use it on my BTR. Otherwise there's the Ammo russian paint set...

Thanks Lu. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing that somewhere.  |

Thanks Lu. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing that somewhere. I will add modulation using Japanese green, it has a yellowish hue that I think suits the base tone. |

JGDSF Green is XF-73...looks like it would be a good color to modulate over XF-67 (NATO Green).
I think that the modern color is easier to lock down compared to the WWII color which is "green".

Lu and Dupes, I agree with both of you, the only problem is, you guessed it, I don't have either of those colors  |

There any hobby stores anywhere near your neck of the woods? Haven't ever poked around out that way.

I wonder if that would work for me? A WWII prototype KV-122 and the IS-3M, which BTW... isn't it a post war or after the war re-build? Thanks for any suggestions!  Jeff |

As far as I'm aware of, Russian post war green not only depended on the time frame, but also on the region where depleted.
IMHO every green is suitable, from green to drab and light to dark. A colleague who served in the Romanian Army (WP back then) told me, when they needed paint for the motor pool, the whole company had to work one day in the local color manufactury for one day for free, then they were given some jars of whatsoever green paint. That was real existing socialism!
There's really no use in struggling about Russian Green, even less than Dunkelgelb...
Cheers,
Tobi

Sorry for the late reply Men. Dupes, there ain't nothin' modeling related around here. The closest one I think is Ray & Robin's in Falmouth. Robbo, I've looked at that set and it is nice. If I keep doing Russian stuff I just may have to pick it up. Jeff S, it looks like it's turning into another almost any green will do thing, so you should be O.K. advin, Thanks for the lesson Bud. Make your own paint you say? that may explain a lot. |

I asked this same question a bit a go, and had some excellant responses. I did purchase the LifeColor Soviet WWII Army Camouflage Set - It has 6 Acrylic Colors. I am pretty happy with it so far, and only cost me $24.99 shipped
