Breaker Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Gents, I'm working on a big Hawk in the all over grey scheme. My decal sheet is calling for Medium Sea Grey over Barley Grey undersides. Looking at a lot of references and using Mr Hobby MSG as my standard, it looks too dark. Several other sites refer to the Hawk in all over grey being in Air Defense Grey, which I've taken to mean all over Barley Grey. Could someone set me right please, what should be the correct paints? If I have to mix some white into my MSG to get it to match, so be it! Photo I'm working towards, the nose looks MSG but not the rest of the airframe: p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Evil Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 You're correct the Hawks were officially painted in MSG over Barley Grey, I'm not aware of any being painted in a single grey, even for trials (although my memory isn't exactly conclusive proof). As with anything, start with the official colours and mix to match your refs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatters Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Could be wrong, but seem to remember some hawks with dark sea grey upper surfaces. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Evil Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yep, at least one was, I believe as part of the scheme trials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just compared my MrHobby MSG to the Xtracyrlic one and the MRH seems to be considerably darker, so that's not helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
