They are indeed black, do not know why Hobby Boss specifies dark grey. While I am glad Hobby Boss decided to release the Land Rover series they really could have done a much better job in getting the details on the different variants correct, including colour schemes. Many times I think Hobby Boss relied on prototype and company demonstrator vehicles for information instead of actual in-service vehicles, especially in the case of the RSOV. It may appear to be a dark gray after fading, but most of the photos I've seen still show them to be black. I plan to paint mine flat black using White Ensigns British Blue/Black Disruptive to try to simulate the strange coloration of the black (the British have the same 'problem' with the black they use with the green/black camo scheme they have used for decades), but to each his own! Hope yours turns out well!!
