ok..just received a few items for the TSM SA-6 AA kit. I'm looking through photo's and noticed the missiles are typically 2 different colors? I get the -3M rockets wear the white warhead, the -1M has the dark gray.

The question is the use of green bodies w/ a white or very light gray body together? Does the body colors designate something

Hi Jeff;
Im guessing that you are refering too the DML SA-6 kit in 1/35 ? Many Countrys use the SA-6 Gainful Missile, and it can be found in Many Colors. Plain Green with White Nose Cones is the most common. They are also seen camoflaged in many colors, plain Gloss White is also seen. Training Missiles were often a Solid color or had there fins painted a different color, ie) Dark Grey. Make sure you get the new Decals for them as they are a must.
CHEERS; MIKE.

the kit is from Trumpeter that I have...prolly a rebox from DML !

The nose color makes sense to me,but numerous pics show a typical load of 2 green body missile, w/ one gray color body in the center launch rail on the TEL. The gray one had the dark gray warhead of the -1M

Everything described in the kit.

It's not Warhead. The explosive charge in front of the air intake.
The small passive radar fairing cover, 3M9ME-gray, and white 3M9M3.
The missile body is dependent on manufacturing, each series varies in shades of green.
Reviews: Set of stickers or upgrading kit contains everything.

Thanks MIke..I'm planning a scene from a pic found online of the TEL sitting in the snow on alert! There's 2 TEL's backed into hedgrow, and looks cool. I'll have to check the markings..

CMOT- I would highly recomend the set..the resin is flawless, and instructions very clear! The missile decal look perfect also

Juge75- I hoped you'd chime in..yes, it was missile body color I asked about. OK..its based on manufacture. I like the color variation it shows on the cover of the WWP book w/ the 2 color missile .

I did find HAD models has another decal sheet for the TEL..still time to order them before the campaign starts!
