KEB Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I've checked here and have hd no luck, so i'm posting this in hopes of finding out what is the correct color I should paint the AIM 9X missile body for my 1/48 F-15C Mod Eagle... Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Murph Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Light Ghost Gray FS #36375. The seeker section is matte unpainted dark metal. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

picknpluck Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I've found Alclad Steel works well for the seeker heads. And I echo the others with light ghost grey for the missile body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I mix Model Master Helo drab and steel for the seeker head. There isn't really a correct shade as the real ones vary all over the place but fairly dark metallic with a green tinge is what I do. I use gloss aircraft gray for the lens. It works in my chosen scale, maybe others have different advice on bigger than 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
