Harrier winter camouflage
Posted by Thwaite on Monday, September 14, 2015 12:05 PM

 Need to pick brains folks. Anyone have a good tamiya mix for RAF Barley grey or what I believe is now called camouflage grey. I'm starting a 1/32 harrier GR7 in this scheme...Any ideas?

On the bench: 1/32 trumpeter Douglass Dauntless ,1/48 tamiya Lancaster

I used mm camouflage gray as a primer for a 56 ford victoria on a white body and to me its very close to xf-55 deck tan is to light and xf-57 buff is little to dark if thats helps

XF 55 Deck tan and XF 57 Buff tend towards the brown side, whereas Camouflage (Barley) grey is more bluish.

I'd look somewhere between XF 19 Sky Grey and XF 25 Light Sea Grey

(Note: IIRC, "Barley Grey" was named not for the colour resembling the colour of barley, but after the man who formulated it)

The fuselage and wingtip panels are Tamiya Light Sea Grey (XF-25)

The inner wing panels are Vallejo Model Air (71051) Barley Grey

Not the best photo, so I'm not sure if you can see much difference. The inner panels have a slight purplish tinge.

EDIT: Note that there are two flavours of (RAF) Camouflage Grey. The original Barley Grey/Camouflage Grey (626) and "Dark" Camouflage Grey (629). I'm not sure what your model calls for, but I suspect it may be the darker shade.
