Which would be the correct colors for this one Wojtek? Vallejo/Hataka....

I saw that Hataka had a set, but that was for modern Polish jets...

....and is the '613' having a yellow border, or does it just like look it does, with the brown paint?

Here is the pic of much better quality... the plane is a Lim-6bis/R c/n 1J 06-13 / 613. The pic was taken in 1984. The camo is different from the one she got in 1979. The number outline should be of the yellow but you may notice it was of a pale yellow rather. Regarding the camo colours and Vallejo numbers.. the orginal camo colours aren't of any standard paints and you have to match them more or less. But I'll dig up a little bit more and try to find more info on that.

I haven't heard any good about Hataka paints Jan. Colours are good but many have spraying issues

The Dark Green paint should be FS24097 with 7% of Black. The closest paint is the Humbrol 114 Russian Green or Humbrol 149 Dark Green.

The grey looking colour behind the cockpit is FS34226 Grey Sand. The closest paint is Humbrol 78 Cockpit Green + 9% of White.

The yellowish light green colour is the Yellow-Sand FS14255. The closest match is Humbrol 83 Ochre. + 2% of Black.

The light blue for undersides is FS24325 with some of White. The closest paint is Humbrol 65 Aircraft Blue +5% of dark green colour.

Because the equivalent of the FS24097 may be not found you may use the FS 34092 that is the equivalent for the Humbrol 149 and can match without mixing with the Black..
