Humbrol equivalents for Dark Sea Grey are 27 (matt) and 164 (satin), 167 for Barley Grey/Camouflage Grey (satin) and 166 for Light Aircraft Grey (satin).  You'll probably want to use the satin paints for all three as they should provide a better base for a gloss coat prior to transfer application.

I think that the two tone looks quite smart - there is a good solid demarcation between the greys which will look great on a kit.  The red intake cover will add to the colour as well.  IMHO of course!!!
