4scourge7 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear all, I have unboxed the very wonderful Revell Eurofighter Typhoon but, being a bit of a thick Jimmy right now, can`t get to grips with the Revell colour scheme for the RAF version. As I work with Humbrol could someone in the know who`s already matched Humbrol colours to the RAF scheme kindly post what they are. Considering the amount of re-casts appearing as new releases of late I was delighted to see Revell seem to have gone the extra mile with this kit (first impressions at least). Thanks for any help you can give Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smeders Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Ian, Don't have that kit but I'd hazard a guess at Humbrol 165 (Medium sea gray) upper surface and 166 (Light aircraft gray) underside. HTH Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSV1000R Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Ian, Which scale is this kit ? I dug this up, originally posted by Dave Fleming, who in turn credited it to Rob Monfea: The official colours are as follows:Overall: BS381C no. 626 Camouflage (Barley) Grey. Cockpit is BS381C no. 632 Dark Admiralty Grey. Leading and trailing edge flap interiors: FS595B 36280 (Slightly lighter than RAF Ocean Grey). Intake Flap interior: BS381C no. 626 Camouflage (Barley) Grey. Intakes (Aft of intake flap - Inside intake ducting): FS595B 26492. Radome: FS595B 36314 Flint Grey (This is supposedly an FS equivalent to Barley Grey, however looking at the real aircraft it appears to have a slight brownish tint). I'd suggest adding a dash of Dark Earth to BS381C no. 626 and compare with this: Edited February 21, 2006 by eddygrantham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volzj Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for that post Eddy. I'm sitting on the kit and haven't started because of Revell's wonderful painting instructions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah, they fixed the problems with their decals a few years ago, if only they'd do something with their painting guides....I s'pose its all about supporting their own paint brand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
