mrvr6 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 looking at it again i think xf54 is way to dark im leaning more toward xf80 now (same gray as the vulcan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good site that! I think it's Dark sea grey but I'll await correction! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The best tamiya green for a RAF plane is XF-81, as this colour is made specificlly for RAF planes. XF-54 is kind of ok for dark sea grey as used on the tornado. I've never used XF-80, but from the pics loos a bit light IMHO. I'm not sure XH558 is actually painted as the tornado: Vulcans in wrap-around scheme used dark sea grey, but XH558 was not one of the planes originally painted in this scheme so originally had dark green and medium sea grey uppersurfaces. The wrap around scheme was added during the "restoration" using a lighter grey, that to my eyes looks somewhere between dark and medium sea grey.

spike7451 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 big strip or small? You can see it here; See where the airframe color changes to the light gray just inside the intake.Also,dont forget to open up the APU exhaust... Yes,it's an F-3,but it's the same on the GR/IDS.
