1/144 scale Ekranoplan? DETAIL HELP!

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Hey y’all.

After recently purchasing the Revell AG 1/144 scale Ekranoplan A-90 Orljonok, I was saddened to see a few problems.

First off, the interior has absolutely NO detail! The cockpit also has no detail!
Then, the painting instructions do not refer to any standard colors for painting! All of the colors referred to are made by mixing, and the mixing instructions all refer to revell brand paints, which aren’t sold in any hobby shop near me!

So, can anyone help me?
Where can I find some good photos of the interior and cockpit of the A-90 Orljonok(please refer to specific websites, if possible!), and, does anyone know what color I sould paint the thing? I want it to be accurate, but, I don’t know what to paint it in!

Here’s a review of the kit. Not the best I’ve seen on the net. I’ll keep searching.

There it is!

Lots of useful info in here. You may want too buy the Aerofax datagraph on the Ekranoplanes…

Hmm… Actually, it was more help that you could imagine! I now know that there ARE companies out there that make 1/144 scale figures, and know that the bottom of the ekranoplan was a different color than the top!

So, all I need now are some interior/cockpit photos, and, I’m all set for a great bird!

Glad you found the links useful. I’ve never seen any pics of the cockpit of the A-90 (or of any other major Ekranoplanes for that matter…). If you ever do, let me know!
