lowlevelraf Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Afternoon All, Getting ready to start my 1/144 A400 that got from John. What is the best grey to use, looking at the kit, seems a little dark. Was looking at doing Medium Sea Grey? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Fingered Modellist Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just a the painting stage with mine using Tamiya XF66 (light Grey) but I think its a little too light so may have to darken it up a bit. Gazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlevelraf Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I was tempted to do mine a the lighter medium sea grey, but I may look at XF66. I going to modify the kit to add the RAF DASS kit, doing ZM404. There is quite alot of MAWS sensors, 3x LAIRCM turrets (1x each side and 1x above the tail ramp) and alot of flare/chaff launchers to add,12 individual on each side. Interest not sure how much of the RAF aircraft have the full DASS suite fitted. I have seen ZM401, 404 and 411 fitted, Most of the other RAF airframes have about half the flare/chaff launcher fitted, but not all of them.

Mohammad Bilal Minhas Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 In my opinion- the color is the same as for the C-17 I am working on - FS 36173 which translates to a Tamiya Neutral Gray XF-53 Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
