Hi All
I'm looking at building the Revell 1/72 AH-1W Super Cobra and one of the options for colour schemes appears to be sand and blue-grey.Being Revell, the mian colours are mixes; 1:1 matt grey:matt sky blue, and sand 1:2 matt white:matt sand yellow.
The instructions use the same colour code for the blue-grey as in the green/black/grey scheme on the box. Can anyone help me with the proper FS codes? I assume the blue-grey is FS35237 from some research on the internet and I guess maybe 33303 for the sand (although the mix makes me think it might be lighter than this)
Thanks in advance
Damian.

Thanks Nick,
Unfortunately I had checked there but they only had two schemes. That was where I got the reference to FS33303 but even there it is called dark sand.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Cheers

The three colors for the tri-color scheme are as follows:
37038 Flat Black
35237 Blue Gray
34095 Field Green
I would assume the gray on the Sand/Gray helos is the same. I would use FS 33531 Sand for the sand color.
