Gunship Gray FS36118, Dark Ghost Gray FS36320, Light Ghost Gray FS36375 and Neutral Gray FS36270.

Use Gunship Gray on the top over all behind the canopy. Forward fusalage section, horizontal stablizer/rudder and vental fins are Dark Ghost Gray. Underside fusalage is Light Ghost Gray and the nose is Neutral Gray.

For best reference check here:
