Hello!

A few days ago I bought some models (scale 1:72) of two imperial russian biplanes (Sikorsky "Ilya Muromets" and Sikorsky C-XVI) of WW I. The pictures on the cardboard-box do not show the surface of the wings or the fuselage. The colour on the paintings look like clear doped linnen or something like that (a colour similar to
sand, light-brown wood or brown paper (indeed a very lousy description!)). Or, on the other hand was there any camouflage on russian planes?

Thank you in advance for any help!
