The Minsk

I have one of Aoshima’s 1/700 waterlines of the carrier Minsk. The plastic looks great and I can follow the picture instructions. However, since I can’t read Japanese, I have no idea about the painting of it. The box art isn’t quite the best. Any tips?

here you can find some pictures of another Minsk model ship :

Also White Ensigns has the colors for russian vessels. Should take a look on theire site.
