Russian ships colors... Help needed

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

For you that have built Russian ships as Sovremenny’s or Kirov’s or Kuznetsov’s: I’ve noticed that many Russian Ships have orange deck surfaces… I’m modelling a 1/720 Kuznetsov, and this carrier also has orange decks… So I’m wondering, which shade of orange must I use? The Italeri instructions didn’t call for orange in the painting guide… maybe a mix is what I need… I have Insignia Red and Insignia Yellow… proportions?.. Any advice should be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hi,

It’s not actually orange, but an orange-red. We have the Russian Deck Red accurately matched and available in our Colourcoats enamels, as item M 13. We have no minimum order requirement on paints, and we ship worldwide. You’ll also find accurate Russian greys there too.
