Color for "desert pink" RAF Tornados?

Hey LFirth,
I am not sure of the exact FS color for the "Dessert Pink" but Polly S has a colour that comes close which is "Dessert Sand".
Just remember as long as you get w/in the ball part because each a/c weathered differently.
Here is a sites that deal w/ the Tornados in Dessert Storm.
Hope this helps ya out.

Flaps up, Mike

the tornado at wright-patt looked like tan to me.

Try Humbrol # 250, desert pink, but put a bit of white in it. According to my conversion chart, Gunze # 346 is the same colour.
On a tornado model, don't forget to dirty up the rear end, there's almost no such thing as a clean Tornado!

If you want an exact match, I'd recommend Xtracolour X32 RAF Desert Pink, available from Hannants in the UK (www.hannants.co.uk).

This is a little darker than photos of real machines and will require a bit of weathering to achieve a realistic finish.

If time is pressing, Humbrol 93 Matt Desert Yellow is a pretty good match and probably just needs a dark wash to achieve a reasonably realistic look.

Hope this helps,
