Revell 1:48 F/A-18C paint question

[ScheF15]

Hi there,

 

Recently I bought the Revell 1:48 Swiss Hornet kit, and according to the instructions I should mix two paints for both upper and lower outer surfaces (Revell 371+374 in two different blends). I'm not keen on mixing paints, so anyone for the official FS or RAL numbers?

 

Cheers,

Rob

If it's the standard Hornet scheme, you want Light Ghost Gray 36375 and Dark Ghost Gray 36230, available from a lot of paint lines.

Thank you! I haven't searched for these exact paints yet, but I should be able to find the right ones, now.

Now, I noticed that Revell forgot to point out the colours of the nose cone and the humps on top of the fuselage (encircled):

 

 

 

Do you happen to know these paint numbers, too?

 

Best regards,

Rob

They're unpainted radar-transparent material (glass fibre) so there's no actual 'colour' . I just use a pale yellow buff colour for the nose and insignia white for the spine bumps. The same insignia white colour for the fin trailing edge sensors which are made of the same stuff.

Various hobby paint producers have "radome tan." It's pretty close to what's often labeled "undoped linen" or "sail color."
