One good color to try is "Guards Red" from Testor's military line. The
Soviet Guards red color is supposed to be blood red. (you know, to
symbolize the blood shed by heroes while fight against capitalist
imperialist fascists.) So that might be a good thing to try. Of course,
I've never understood the rationale behind painting your vehicles bright
red... The Fireman Marines!
