Hi all

I am building a BAe Hawk of 100 Sqn, circa 1993 and can't remember the two greys that they were painted in back then. I seem to think it was medium sea grey on the upper surfaces and light aircraft grey underneath but I just can't remember! This is quite embarassing actually because I used to be an aircraft painter and finisher and worked on 100 Sqn Hawks for a couple of years! I blame the paint fumes!

Cheers, Harri

Medium Sea Grey (BS626) on top, Barley grey (BS637) underside.

Xtracolor/Xtracrylix make both of these colours.
