Any throw me some FS numbers for the cam on Syrian MiG-23 in the early 1980s. I have the MiG-21 Book but it would appear they were in Sand and Spinach and AFAICT the MiG-23 were delivered in a 3 colour scheme. The Wings Palette shows the schemes but need some approximations. I am currently assuming Dark Sand – ?
Tan – 30219/?
Dark Green – 34102/?
Blue Undersides – ? Help appreciated as always. |

I ended up using some craft paints for my Middle Eastern aircraft, since I couldn't find many paints to match the Wing Palette colors needed. I did use Iraqi Sand from Vallejo, which is a lighter color, for some Mig-21s. Given the description for Dark Sand though, that you have above, it may not be applicable. I do recall planning on using it for my Syrian Mig-23s though, so it might work, especially when you consider the scale effect. Then again, perhaps Tan is your lighter color. For the undersides blue, I ended up using "Pool Blue" which is a rather bright, turquoise blue, and adding a bit of white to it, on a palette. |

Not SrYAF but the camo done for the middle east customer was very similar: link |

Don't forget sun and scale will change your colors, so don't worry if it's not perfect, close is good enough. One week in the desert changes the colors anyway. |

Thanks for the link. Very useful to get back on track with the Iran – Iraq conflict. I work on the TLAR (That Looks About Right) principle most of the time but always good to get an idea of what it SHOULD look like before I start. 1/600th Floggers from TD finished this PM
