The correct exterior colour is RAF Blue-Grey BS 633; I personally use Humbrol paints, the correct colour being #79. Interior colour is Dark Admiralty Grey #05.  Also as far as I can tell, 'Humphrey' XP 142 did not have its ASW gear removed from the interior, which made evacuating the SAS troops from Fortuna Glacier that much more difficult!  I will be adding Cobra Company's ASW gear to mine whenever I get to it--it is a very nice kit--except for the backwards tail rotor! Good Luck!!

Wessex HAS.3 question
Posted by JCB8116 on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 8:18 PM

hey guys,

 

Im getting ready to start the 1/72 scale Wessex HAS.3 from Italeri, its a nice kit and i saw that the anti torque rotor spins in the opposite direction but thats easy to fix. I want to model it as a Falklands war HAS.3 but in searching the net i found that there are several conflicting color combinations for the flight deck and interior, and italeris color callouts seem off as they are keyed only to model master. I have access to MM of course, Tamiya, and Humbrol paints but what are the correct colors?
