AK Interactive - Rn Fleet Air Arm Aircraft Colors 1945-2010 Set 3G (AK11754)

Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm greys are a subtle business — Extra Dark Sea Grey, Medium Sea Grey and Barley Grey shifted gradually across six decades of service, from post-war Sea Furies through the Falklands to the Sea Harrier. This six-bottle 3G set has that whole span matched and ready.

What's in the box

• Extra Dark Sea Grey, Medium Sea Grey and Barley Grey
• Further supporting tones for detail and undersides
• Six 17ml dropper bottles, self-levelling matt acrylic

Best for

• Sea Harrier and Buccaneer builds
• Falklands-era and Cold War Fleet Air Arm subjects
• Any Royal Navy fixed-wing aircraft, 1945–2010

Spray the base, mask off the undersides, and the whole scheme holds together because every grey in the box was chosen to sit next to the others. Naval greys are unforgiving under close inspection, so having six correctly related tones beats mixing your own and hoping they age consistently across the model.
