xvtonker Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi, I'm building a 1/100 scale C-47TP Turbo-Dak and am struggling to identify what the correct shade of grey was used for the overall grey scheme. Can anyone help please? Thanks XVTonker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimpyboy Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I’m not sure it’s the scheme you’re looking for, but this discussion may be helpful: http://www.saairforce.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8087&p=101873&hilit=C+47TP+Colour#p101873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen numerous different suggestions but can't find any reference to a specific colour, FS595 or BS381C XVTonker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
