Looks like Trumpeter messed up with the paint colours again (nothing unusual) the Mr Color number quoted (24) is actually a grey (for Gundam models!).

The nearest "Sky" colour is 26 "Duck Egg Green" which is equivalent to most other manufacturers' "Sky" (like Tamiya's XF-21). However, as noted, this is not the correct colour and is too pale for the interior.

A C-47 should be interior green inside,not  Sky.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Mr Hobby "SKY" color alternatives?
Posted by Blackbelt2 on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 7:48 PM

I am currently gathering info on my next build, Trumpeter's C-47A in 1/48th scale. The interior color calls for "SKY" and the suggested supplier is Mr Hobby.Trumpeter does not list any other suppliers of this color. Vallejo, Model Master, Tamiya and Humbrol do not supply this color. What is it? I always thought that American aircraft used Zinc Chromate Green or Interior Green. Any suggestions as to what alternatives I might have?
