Meanwhile, what is "Deep Sky"?  Blue?  Green?  Something else?

 

It was a deep royal blue (for want of a better description). If you have a look at anything concerning Mossie XVs you'll see renderings of the colour.

Some time ago, Nick Millman suggested a match of equal parts Humbrol 14 French Blue & 104 Oxford Blue, with a touch of light grey for scale effect maybe.
