Looking for WW2 Russian Naval Camo Patterns

Post by ww2navyguy »

I am still searching for decent references for Russian WW2 naval camo patterns, specifically for destroyers. Does anyone know of any good books or websites that show camo patterns used in WW2?

Thanks for any help.

Not much out there. Pretty seems to have been whatever 'floats your boat'...

Remember that the Soviet navy wasn't particularly active through much of the war.

Here's an article of ...some... use, I hope:

Thank you for the link. I have several of Malcolm Wright's WW2 warship and colors books with camo scheme examples that are excellent resources for Japan and UK.. I saw a post on TMP website (Th e Miniatures Page) that mentioned that Malcolm Wright was working on a new reference for WW2 Russian Navy camo schemes used, but I have not seen anything published yet. I have many GHQ kits for WW2 Russian destroyers and wanted to get some painted, including some in camo patterns they used, but haven't found many references anywhere. Thought I would reach out again on GHQs forum to see if anyone found any good resources. Thanks again for the link and quick reply.
