seanrgb Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Need a little help here guys What colour do I use for a RAF T1 Typhoon Is it barley grey ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Copied from a post on ARC I saved for future reference: The official colours are as follows: Overall: BS381C no. 629 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), possibly BS381C no. 626 with a "dash" of Dark Earth Also of note is the canopy tint, Johnsons Clear with a dash of Tamiya Smoke should be a good match HTH Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Good Post Richard... will refer back to this one day when I finally do a Tiffie (probably by that time they'll be wearing their retirement schemes! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Good Post Richard... will refer back to this one day when I finally do a Tiffie (probably by that time they'll be wearing their retirement schemes! ) Might be worth pinning it somewhere Mike - it's a question that appears on ARC with almost tidal regularity.

Mike Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Might be worth pinning it somewhere Mike - it's a question that appears on ARC with almost tidal regularity. Good plan... Richard - as you were the original poster, would you start a new thread with a suitably explanatory title, and I'll pin it for you. That way you will be immortalised on the site, and people will say your name in hushed tones long after your fatal yachting accident on the highstreet one morning. "Now THERE was a modeller for the people". yeah... too much caffeine in my energy drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolvoWill Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 We should have a sticky for explaining paint schemes for most modern British subjects, can knock up a few photos of the different schemes if you want as well...don't see why we should restrict it to the Eurofighter, when theres Tornados, Harriers, Jags, and Hawks out there too!

But hey - lots of people think they deserve immortality for a lot less..... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we scan the painting guides from the models we make & post them in a reference section? Just a idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I used Medium Sea Grey for my radome and I reckon it looks close enough. The colour varies from photo to photo anyway. And the reason the question is asked so often is cos of Revell's ridiculous painting guides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Thanks Dave I had it squirrelled away on my PC, unfortunately the post I'd lifted it from didn't credit the originator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
