Seafire Mk 47

[Blitz23]

Hi chaps, currently have the 1/48 Airfix Seafire Mk47 on the go, plan to do the standard scheme with EDSG and sky/beige.

 

Question is which is more accurate sky or beige green as I've seen both used.

The name of the original colour is Sky, so in a sense using Sky is as accurate as you can get.

Different story regarding which paint most accurately represent Sky. Personally I like the Xtracrylix Sky (don't have the tins here so can't remember the codes).

Beige green is the name given to Humbrol 90 that I understand is a good match for Sky.

You may find this thread on the matter very interesting:
