Six shades for the Soviet carrier-based vertical takeoff aircraft and its later version, including a dark naval blue, white and two grays to standard.
Responsibility details are not available.
In the mid-1970s the Soviet Navy received a machine that needed neither a catapult nor an arrestor wire. It took off vertically thanks to two auxiliary engines placed right behind the cockpit and operated from the decks of cruisers with a through runway. It had many troubles in flight, its range and payload stayed modest, but it opened for its crews a chapter that until then only the British had been writing.
What the palette covers. Six shades match the typical finish of these aircraft: a deep naval blue for the upper surfaces, a blue-green tone to the European standard of shades, green for the radome, white for the underside and two grays for the cockpit, the gear bays and the small details. The combination of dark blue with a light belly is typical of carrier-based machines, because from above they blend with the water and from below with the sky.
How to apply the paints. The set belongs to the manufacturer's red line, that is, to lacquer paints, which are thinned with the thinner of the same line and dry quickly to a smooth surface. They are applied in thin layers, ideally over a primer, and will take even firm masking. On this type the transitions between the upper and lower surface are not sharp, so it pays to run the boundary with a loose mask raised a few millimeters above the surface. A gloss intermediate coat comes before the decals.
