RSAF Tornado's color references ?

Hallo again everybody,

I' m sorry do being missing with Tornado's In Progress......but they are not sleeping, just I am involved in a differents building that are almost completed (F-16 ADF Italian Viper - SPAD VII - Nieuport 17 and Mig-21MF ).

But I came back here because I still have problem with Tornado Saudi Air Force........I know this bird is build in England and came in Saudi Arabia alredy painted, in fact I found lot o f photos about delivering airplane brand new from England....but I am turning mad about the color matches and references.

Usually I use Xtracolor paint because I like it very much, since those paints are English too, who better than an English modeller could help me??

The question:

I found almost everywhere that refernce for the Saudi Tornado color (BS 381C:361 Light Stone) (BS 381C:450 Dark Earth) (BS 381C:241 Dark Green), after that I get the equivalent Xtracolor paint:(BS 381C:361 Light Stone)= X-029 (BS 381C:450 Dark Earth)= X-002 (BS 381C:241 Dark Green)= X-001.

My problem is that the Xtracolor paint absolutely doesn't match with the colors I see in the thousands pictures of the real Saudi Tornado's, but the matches of the Xtracolor are more correct for the grey/green camo of English Tornado's......my conclusion is that there is mistake on the references I found everywhere......or I don't know what think about?

Does anyhone approach same complication about Saudi Tornado's BSC references color or can help me about???

Have nice Week-end
