Colour of RAF and RAAF uniforms of WWII

[FinnAndersen]

I'm not usually posting here, but am doing a diorama including some RAF personel and a RAAF pilot.

 

My problem is to find some reasonable paints for these two types. I'm only aware of the RAAF uniform being of a darker blue than the RAF uniform.

 

I usually paint enamels, but it's not crucial. I live in Denmark, so will only reluctantly order from outside EU, with the exception of GB.

Humbrol 96 is considered to be a good match to RAF uniforms

6 tins of one colour.  That about a century of painting for me😁

You'll have to spill more on mom's best table cloth every now and then.

This may give some help with RAAF uniform colour, a somewhat darker blue than RAF, not quite to Naval uniform blue though.
