Spitfires Forever Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hello All I am about to start my build of a 1/48 Tamiya mosquito FB IV and wish to with the dark grey over sky scheme but are not sure if the grey is Dark Slate over Sky type S or Ocean Grey over MSG? I have seen both schemes called out and would like some clarification. The time period would be just prior to D-Day (because I don't want to go to the extra effort to paint invasion striper on my model) if that helps. Again, any help on this would be appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawinder Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Coastal Command was generally Extra Dark Sea Grey over Sky.

11bravo Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 You can have a lot of fun with Coastal Command Mossies. You can go with the standard day fighter colors; you can go with EDSG (which often faded quickly to something closer to DSG) over Sky or you can opt for just the upper surfaces painted with EDSG (many times with the original camo scheme showing through). That's the route I took with my 32nd Mossie. Have fun on your build, hope you do a WIP so we can follow along. John 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son was 11 Bravo in Paktika Provence no Mossies but plenty of A-10"s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
