Looking for suggestions for blue tail for Tornado ZG756

[Seawinder]

I want to do the Revell GR4 in the 14 Sqn. anniversary paint job worn by ZG756. I'll probably end up mixing a dark blue for the tail by eye, but I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations for something out of the bottle?

 

Thanks,

Pip

From  having a look at various images, I'd go with Roundel Blue. Certainly looks like the same blue in the fin flash, the fact it is outlined to show where it is adds weight to that in my mind. The current BS381 ref for Roundel Blue is 110 to avoid confusion with the WWII shade which is darker and closer to (if not the same as) Oxford Blue 105.

Hadn't noticed the outline. Very helpful, thanks. Does anybody make RAF Roundel Blue that you know of?

I have a tin of Xtracolour in my paintbox, X030. I'm sure others are available, if not I'll bet someone'll be along to suggest matches to other ranges etc.
