Hello and welcome to the site !
i'm not realy sure about the plane you're talking about...
Is it painted in the sand and light brown typical of the planes that were deployed in Djibouti ?
Then, the sand color should certainly be "pale stone", Humbrol 121 if my memory is correct (beware, this is only by memory, so I could be wrong...).
