Watch accurately this forum. There was a nice post from sir Robert Hurst on 10 dec '92.

thanks for the help guys. is the paint scheme on the top brown and green, or is it tan and green, because i've noticed several paint schemes?

Eduard, here is a fragment from Vanatorul IAR-80 by Dan Antoniu and George Cicos, Modelism, 2000:

Toate avioanele IAR-80/81 au iesit din fabrica in culori de camuflaj tipic englezesc astfel:
-extradosul: vopsit in benzi ondulate din stanga sus spre dreapta jos, vazut de sus, benzi de culoare verde-oliv inchis cu benzi de culoarea pamantului ars inchis

Hope that helps you make the model you wanted. I would suggest no. 372 of Constantin Balta: http://www.arr.go.ro/p018.htm

Good luck!

thanks victor. now i know the colors to use, because in the instructions it said tan instead of brown, but tan was too light, so i checked with you guys and it's brown.
thanks again

I would like to see some photos when you are done!

eduard
thanks again for the help, because i had no idea what color to make it, and i wanted to make it historical.

sorry but i think you'll have to wait another week for the pics victor. my airbrush propellant ran out and i can't paint it. besides i've had a lot of problems with the model itself, especially the aerilons, they don't stand on the plane.
sorry again
