Note: The dark grey was some what blueish. A good colour to use was the old Humbrol HF-5 - Gris Blue Foncé, though this is nowadays replaced with Humbrol 79. Both need to be somewhat lightened, because of the scale effect, which make your model look darker | |||||||||
Standard #2 | Same as standard #1, but with smaller markings | ||||||||
