philbean Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 About to start the Airfix 747-200 in BA's landor scheme. Anyone know what the upper fuselage colour is? It's like a very slight blue/greyish white. http://www.airliners.net/photo/British-Air...236B/1138149/L/ Don't suppose anyone knows of an exact match for this in modellers paint?

Dave Fleming Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Need to check, but I suspect the Xtracolor 'British Airways Grey' is the one from the Landor scheme http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=X304 As it'sthe only grey I recall BA using!!
