Graham Boak Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 There is no Light Sea Grey. There is a Light Aircraft Grey, but that wasn't used on the uppersurfaces of Vulcans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 For XH558 it should be Medium Sea Grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 As said xh558 is in medium sea grey, though many Vulcans were painted dark sea grey (and indeed Airfix recommend dark sea grey incorrectly for xh558) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Dark sea grey and dark green were the wrap around scheme colours from the end of their service lives. Medium sea grey and dark green were with light aircraft grey undersides. 558 is a one off with a wrap around scheme in the earlier colours of medium sea grey and dark green. Ignore what airfix say.
