Darren Roberts Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yes, yes, I know. It's not Navy. I'm working on an F-15 for a customer and want to make sure I get the colors correct. I know they aren't Ghost Grays anymore. I usually use MM Acryl, but I've heard their "Eagle" colors aren't correct. Which manufacturer has the closest colors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I hadn't heard that about acryl, but Model Master also has them in enamel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Well, the colors are FS 36176 Dark Gray and FS 36251 Aggressor Gray, perhaps that new Mr. Paint (avail at Red Star Hobbies) would work. If acrylic is what you want, maybe Lifecolor would work for you. Both are great paints from what folks are saying. Edited August 31, 2016 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Model Master Dark Gull Gray, is so close in color to Navy Aggressor Gray, no one will know the difference. Maybe that's why they quit making Aggressor Gray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Xtracolor apparently makes the shades in their Xtracrylic line as well according to the Two Bobs sheets that feature markings for the Mod Eagle scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that's why they quit making Aggressor Gray. I have not compared them side by side, but Dark Gull Gray, the standard cockpit color, is IIRC, a bit darker than the underside color of the Mod Eagle scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not scientific but it's the best I can do at the moment. I had this note on a wall by my work bench: uploadimage Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
