Re: My first profile

Firstly thankyou for the compliments and opinions

It's not white, it's Aeh-9 Grey....maybe I need to tone it down just a spec?....but if you look at the paint chip I posted it's so close to white. it's as though the grey sprinted through it at mach 9. It's such a subtle colour, I can see the differance......I'm sorry if I seem angry or rude, niether of which I am or attempting to be. I am just a little miffed. To those not really into Russian planes I have noticed a lack of knowledge of VVS areolaquers everythign is either a green that is nothing from the VVS aroelaquers or it's white, which is far from the case. The big thing is if I tone it down it will be another grey completely.

To realize the subtleness, I am going to put from Mk-7 White, which is similar to the white distemper used to for winter comoflouge, which this plane is not in, to the Aeh-9 Grey next grey Aeh-8 Grey. The source I am using http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Research/colour-samples.php also states that these examples are for representitive purposes only. As anadc4 pointed out, it is very subjective, On here the SPS Colour sawtch for VVS aircraft; the Aeh-9 looks like it has blue in it to me. Maybe I do need to tone it down but then it looks like another shade, Aeh-8...but then again how many people will notice?I will and I will know too and that's something I can't accept. I have even used my digital colour meter and it is getting the exact same numbers from chip to applied colour of my profile. But, still I think it gives a very good indication just how fine and how subtle a colour it is;





I appreciate the comments and ideas. Please do not think I am not listening or pondering points
