Amazonchitlin Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew the proper exterior gray color for the Mohawks in Desert Storm. Most people say that its light gull gray (FS 16440 I believe?). Looking at some photos though, it almost looks like some were ADC gray. I dont think it's just reflecting the color of the sky on some though. Here's the army manual on painting the ov1...I'm not sure if the 36231 is in reference to the federal standard or not...if it is, then it calls for it to be dark gull gray. I'm not sure about what color MIL-C-46168 is... Here's a link to the manual. https://books.google.com/books?id=gRsGgfUifakC&pg=SL3-PA22&lpg=SL3-PA22&dq=mil+spec+c+46168+aircraft+exterior+gray&source=bl&ots=hzaxeuslFG&sig=ACfU3U089E2V6l0Yzr9Wxy21GBujrcCnHQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUte3V6aLiAhUD3lQKHWy3A1kQ6AEwEXoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=mil spec c 46168 aircraft exterior gray&f=false Quote Link to post Share on other sites
