Vallejo AFV Russian Green 4BO Paint Set

Post by BlackSheep214 »

I bought this set a good 5 years ago and I’m trying to find Federal Standard / RLM / RAL numbers. I managed to figure out only 2 of the 6.
The set includes 6 colors as follows:
(They are Vallejo Model Air acrylics)

#609 - Russian Black Green 4BO
#18 - Camo. Black Green..... FS36081/ RAL7026
#17 - Russian Green.... FS34082 / RLM80
#223 - Green
#225 - Light Green

The sixth color is a clearcoat varnish (Satin) that’s the a non issue for me.

#609 seems to be equivalent to use AK Interactive 11368 Russian Green 4BO.... FS30097

#223 and #225 are real head scratchers. Vallejo doesn’t list it on their color charts - Model Air nor Model Color charts. :whiteflag:

Glad to hear I'm not the only person who occasionally gets frustrated with color matching and mfg paint naming/numbering. I keep trying to tell myself it's part of the challenge of the hobby. Sometimes the search is kind of fun, sometimes it's not.

That said, usually Vallejo is pretty good about listing paint standard number(s) on their bottles. I presume there is nothing on either of the greens, which is odd.
