Stratos Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Apart from the cammoed variants, I have seen Bis Fishbeds for the USSR in grey, but I cannot determine If the planes were left in natural metal or painted in some kind of light grey. My question is, anyone know If the planes were painted in grey or left in natural metal? If painted I will need the name of that grey and If possible the RGB values for it. Thanks in advance! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
flanker1 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 both versions were used, in the sixties bare metal and beginning with the seventies over to the early eighties a light grey was used. jack from this forum (famous for his mig skins) has done some cool stuff for warsaw pact countries and their mig-21 bis and met the tone very good in my opinion. i dont know if the default grey ussr skin coming with the bis originally from leatherneck (m3) is a little way to dark. . . but, please feel free to do some more cold war era skins for this epic bird!!!! :-) :-)
foxbat155 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Original MiG-21Bis were painted: - aircrafts for PVO (air defence type 75A with Lazur GCI ) with light grey semi-gloss paint, all surfaces except engine exhaust and air inlet ring, - aircrafts for WWS ( type 75B with RSBN-5 ) with transparent semi-gloss lacquer, all surfaces except engine exhaust and air inlet ring.
