Hello my good modeling buddies! I’m Building a 1/144 DML GR 4 Panavia Tornado. It’s boxed as a German kit but i want to make in a British jet. I can’t seem to find what colors to use for the brits jet? I want the (what I think is) current tactical gray but nobody seems to say if there’s a matching fed. standard color. I’m using MM acrylics. anybody know the correct colors?

If it is the same colour as used during Operation Telic, it would be Camouflage Grey BS381C:626. FS:36314 being it’s equivalent.

The nose would be darker, Dark Camouflage Grey BS381C:629 - ipmsstockholm does not list an FS match.

regards,

Jack

I belive it’s barley grey, later called camoflage grey - Humbrol 167 & Mr Color 334 are decent matches & Tamiya XF-19 isn’t bad. Here is a discussion on Britmodeller about it;
