I am currently building a 1/72 scale mark X Coastal Command beaufighter. I have done some research but thought I'd ask a question about it here anyway.
I have found that this beaufighter had sky undersides, but the upper surfaces look to be extra dark sea gray. Does that sound right to anyone out there.
The Hasegaw instructions say to mix two types of gray together but I can't find that in any of my references. Thanks for any input. Russell

I'm building a Mosquito in Banff Strike wing of coastal command colours. Extra dark sea grey over sky - low fuselage demarcation line scheme is what is called for there. Hannants do an extra dark sea grey in there xtracolour range of paints.
