WW2 Soviet AFV paint set Standard colours of Soviet military vehicles during WW2 In a common belief all Soviet AFVs of WW2 wore single-colour olive-green livery. In reality the Soviet Army experimented with camouflaging its vehicles since mid-1930s, which led to first instructions issued already in 1939 (introducing a complex system of four geographical theatres with own camouflage patterns / colours). However as only three colours were accessible by 1941 – 4BO Green, 6K Dark Brown and 7K Sand – usage of those in 45-55%, 15-30% and 15-30% proportion was finally approved by the end of 1941. Due to war time economy limitations, till 1943 majority of equipment continued to be finished in one of the greens (4BO, ZK or ZO). Only in 1944-45 use of three-colour camouflage became more common. Contains the following colours (acrylic paints, water-based, optimised for use with brush): HTK-B246 – Dark Moss Green (ZB AU) – Exact match with ZB AU Green, between 1937-39 an official base colour of Soviet military vehicles. Later a primer paint HTK-B251 – 4BO Protective Green – Since 1939 an official base colour of all Soviet military vehicles and other military equipment (used well into mid-1950s) HTK-B316 – ZO Protective Green – Alternative to 4BO paint, often used as a base colour on camouflaged Soviet AFVs and on various auxiliary equipment HTK-B317 – Dark Brown 6K – Used over green base (4BO, ZK or ZO) in two- or three-colour camouflage schemes of selected Soviet military vehicles HTK-B318 – Sand 7K – Used over green base (4BO, ZK or ZO) in two- or three-colour camouflage schemes of selected Soviet military vehicles HTK-A153 – Washable (temporary) matt paint – Used to cover selected areas in improvised winter camouflage of various Soviet vehicles.
WW2 Imperial Japanese Army AFV paint set Standard colours of Japanese Army vehicles from 1937 till 1945 The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) until 1942 (according to most sources) used a colorful camo consisting of IJA Khaki (base colour) with disruptive shapes of IJA Tea Brown (to some extent also used as a base colour), IJA Olive Green and IJA Earth Brown. Many vehicles also wore a yellow disruptive stripe (usually claimed to be a bright yellow, but recently sources suggest that this was more pale IJA Parched Grass – both included in the set), sometimes with black outline. Starting in 1942, the IJA transitioned to a simpler and more standardized set of colors – a new base khaki color (IJA Parched Grass) with disruptive shapes of IJA Grass Green (mostly used on South Pacific) or late IJA Olive Green and IJA Earth Brown. Contains the following colours (acrylic paints, water-based, optimised for use with brush): HTK-B240 – IJA Khaki – IJA Khaki (Khaki-iro), base colour in early IJA scheme (1937-42), used on various types of AFVs HTK-B241 – IJA Tea Brown – IJA Tea Brown (Cha-iro), used for disruptive shapes in early IJA camouflage scheme (1937-42) HTK-B242 – IJA Olive Green – IJA Olive Green (Midori-iro), used for disruptive shapes in early IJA camouflage scheme (1937-42) HTK-B107 – Signal Yellow – Used for disruptive stripes in early IJA camouflage scheme (1937-42) on various types of AFVs HTK-B243 – IJA Parched Grass – IJA Parched Grass (Karekusa-iro), base colour in late IJA scheme (1943-45), used on various AFVs HTK-B168 – Dark Brown – Exact match with IJA Earth Brown (Tochi-iro), used in both early and late IJA schemes HTK-B169 – Green – Exact match with IJA Grass Green (Kusa-iro), used in late IJA camouflage scheme (1943-45) HTK-B065 – Olive Drab – Close match with IJA Olive Green (late), used for disruptive shapes in late IJA scheme (1943-45).
USMC AV-8 paint set (early schemes) Standard colours of Harrier fleet in USMC service from 1970s till 1990s. AV-8As entered service with USMC in 1971 wearing Dark Green / Gunship Grey over Light Gull Grey pattern. In early 1980s, parallel to introduction of AV-8Bs (and modification of A variant to C standard), new colours were introduced – Extra Dark Green and Dark Blue-Grey (firstly on upper surfaces, later in wrap-around scheme). During the Operation Desert Storm the „Land Camo” was regarded as ineffective in desert conditions and field-repainting of AV-8Bs was ordered (mostly with paints available in neighbouring units) – either by covering only the dark green patches of camo or by repainting of overall aircraft. Contains the following colours (lacquer based paints, optimised for use with airbrush): HTK-C016 – Dark Green – FS34079, used for upper surfaces in initial camouflage of USMC AV-8As from start of their service in 1971 till late-1970s HTK-C031 – Gunship Grey – FS36118, used for upper surfaces in initial camouflage of USMC AV-8As from start of their service in 1971 till late-1970s HTK-C048 – Light Gull Grey – FS36440, used for lower surfaces of AV-8As.

Modern Royal Air Force paint set vol. 5 Standard colours of RAF V-bombers since the 1950s Since the early 1950s until the end of the Cold War the RAF operated a fleet of „nuclear delivery aircraft” – high altitude, high speed bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons deep into enemy territory. Commonly known as the „V-bombers” they included the Vickers Valiant (introduced in 1954, the first to drop a nuclear bomb), the Handley Page Victor (introduced in 1957) and the Avro Vulcan (introduced in the same year). Most of the early days service saw the Valiant wear an overall aluminium livery; soon (1957) it was replaced by a so-called „anti-flash white” paint (gloss bright white when freshly applied, weathering quickly towards a very light pearl grey). A change of tactics to low-level penetration in 1964, led to gradual application of camouflage to the whole V-bomber fleet.

Modern Luftwaffe paint set vol. 4 Standard colours of German F-4F fleet from 1980s till mid-1990s. Shorty after introduction of F-4F Phantom II into service, Luftwaffe recognized that the usual Norm 72 camouflage scheme was not optimal for air-to-air combat. In 1976 a research work was started (with help of JG71 „Richthofen” and JG74 „Mölders”) aimed at developing a new universal camouflage, suitable both for fighter and fighter-bomber roles. The resulting Norm 81 scheme was introduced in two variants – 81A with camouflage pattern of polygonal shapes and 81B using the same colours but in irregular shapes. The Norm 81 scheme had been officially used until introduction of Norm 90J, but was observed still in late 1990s. Contains the following colours (lacquer based paints, optimised for use with airbrush): HTK-C233 – Stone Grey – RAL7030, used for fuselage sides and lower surfaces (after 1983) in Norm 81A/B scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C248 – Quartz Grey – RAL7039, used for upper surfaces in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C225 – Green Grey – RAL7009, used for upper surfaces in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C192 – Basalt Grey – RAL7012, used for upper surfaces in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C249 – Dusty Grey – RAL7037, used for upper surfaces in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C191 – Light Grey – RAL7035, used for lower surfaces in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs HTK-C189 – Silver Grey – RAL7001, used for lower surfaces in initial Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe F-4Fs (after 1983 replaced by RAL7030) HTK-C100 – Jet Black – RAL9005, standard colour of radome of Luftwaffe F-4F Phantom IIs in Norm 81A/B camouflage scheme.

was used). After 1955 the new colour – No. 24 Deep Bronze Green in gloss finish – was introduced. The next change was implemented in late 1971 with NATO Green becoming a base colour with black disruptive shapes applied over it (although some vehicles were left in overall green). Middle / Near East operations required use of desert camouflage of overall Light Stone or with first Deep Bronze Green and then NATO Green disruptive pattern.

Late Luftwaffe paint set BLUE LINE – OPTIMISED FOR BRUSH The early war overall Dunkelgrau livery of German AFVs was officially changed in February 1943, when the Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) base paint was introduced (at that point without an assigned RAL number), which was to be camouflaged in field units using Olivegrün (from RLM register, later registered as RAL 6003) and Rotbraun (RAL 8017) paints. The Dunkelgelb itself was soon registered as RAL 7028. It is believed that its tone was changed at least twice – with assignment of RAL 7028 number (in March 1943 – previously it was knows as „Dunkelgelb nach Muster”) and later in 1944 („Ausgabe 1944”).

Israeli Air Force paint set (modern rotors) Standard colours of Israeli helicopters since late 1970s The so-called „1970’s desert scheme” was used on IAF helicopters until 1979 (except for AH-1s in Olive Drab), when „Tactical Battlefield” scheme of overall FS30099 was adopted. During 1982 Lebanon War, due to identification problems, yellow „V” symbol was applied to all helicopters with any paint available (later standardized to FS33434). After the conflict, due to IAF’s request, helicopters were repainted to lighter FS30145 colour. AH-64s and UH-60A/Ls initially wore original US colour (FS34031), until introduction in the early 2000s of the so-called „Tiger” camouflage scheme.

German AFV in Africa paint set Standard colours of German military vehicles in Africa during WW2 As the Wehrmacht was not properly prepared for the African campaign, first units transported to Africa in February 1941 wore standard Dunkelgrau scheme. They were subsequently covered with a mixture of mud, sand and water (or oil) as a temporary solution.

Standard colours of Su-27 fleet in early service The Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker is a twin-engine multirole fighter (S version) / pure fighter-interceptor aircraft (P version). First prototype of T10-1 (Sukhoi internal designation) flew in May 1977. The production Su-27S „Flanker-B” began to enter Soviet AF service in 1985, while the twin-seater Su-27UB („Flanker-C”) appeared only in 1987. Due to manufacturing optimisation reasons production of single and twin seaters was separated and conducted by two remote factories (hence two lines of Su-27 family development in later years). In total 517 Su-27S/P and 123 Su-27UB/UP were built till end of 1991 and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Further 56 of both versions were produced for the Russian AF from 1992 till 2011.
