Cloggy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I've been looking at some pictures of Mexican Air Force Boeing 727-200's for a possible modeling project, but I have a problem - what shade of grey would you say the aircraft is painted? I reckon it is closest to FS16375, but if anyone has accurate info I'd be really grateful. Here are some reference pics: Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Edited January 31, 2012 by Cloggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'd say that's pretty close to light grey. :) Would I get pedantic about exactly what shade? Not in a billion years. Pick one and go with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks, Jennings. I've decided to go for FS16473 instead :) I take what you say about being pedantic, but if anyone were to dare paint a USN F-14 model in the wrong shade of grey then there would be a lot of head-shaking. On the other hand a lot more people have seen USN F-14's than have seen FAM Boeing 727's; so I have picked my grey and I'm going with it!
