The Story
The distinctive turquoise behind the canopy on Soviet jets. Russian Cockpit Turquoise has painted the cockpit interiors of Soviet and Russian military aircraft since 1967 — from overhauled MiG-21s through the MiG-23, -25, -27 and -31 to the Mi-24 and big Tupolev bombers. If you're opening up the office on any Cold War Soviet machine, this is the colour that makes it authentic.
