RAF Harrier Gr.1 and Gr.3 Color.


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

As the title alludes too, I am at the painting stage of my little 1/72 Airfix Harrier Gr.1 circa 1970. The Airfix plans call for Humbrol 163 (Dark green), 164 (Dark Sea Grey) upper camouflage with a 166 (Light Aircraft Grey) lower. I think Tamiya matches the green with XF-81 and the upper grey with XF-54 (may need to lighten both a tad). But I can't find a Tamiya match for the lower grey (166). Does anyone know a mix ratio for Tamiya paints to achieve the Light Aircraft Grey lower camouflage color?

 

I have an Airfix Gr.3 on the way and I am assuming the wrap around green and grey camouflage is the same 163 and 164 colors?

 

Thanks all!

 

Regards,

Don

Light Aircraft Grey is not a million miles from FS36440. Tamiya has XF55. Maybe a reasonable match?. Prob best try it out before committing to your Harrier though. & yes colours are same green & grey for the GR.3
