Saw this at my LHS today with a price tag of $3.00. Had to grab it ya know?! Anyhoo, after opening the box, i understand the price. There is nowhere to be found, painting instructions in this box. Anyone have any idea the FS numbers for the Exterior Camo, and interior office? Help please

I doubt that the Russians used FS numbers to be honest, I would mix some by eye. I think the S was predominatly grey, this seems a good reference site for the interior but the camo is wrong as the text states.

Good pics. The office pics are gonna help out LOTS!!! Thanks for the help, but according to the blurb on the instruction sheet, the grey toned mig-23 was for the East German Air Force and the Russians were 3 toned camo. I looked at airliners.net and most every pic has the 3 toned camo. Is it basically sand, brown, and olive?
Found this quote.

“dentified respectively by us as Sand FS 33578 (Gunze H79), Light Green FS 34102 (Gunze H303) and Brown FS 30045 (80% Gunze H72+ 20% Black). For the under surfaces we adopted the Light Blue Gray.”

I would still use these colours as a base and try to add some variation to them to make them lighter or darker, as I said I doubt very much that the USSR were using exact FS numbered paint.
thank you kind sir!!! Thats perfect
