[QUOTE="blakeh1, post: 209141, member: 10905"] I picked up some paint for the F-14 Tomcat and F-4 Everything I saw says to use "LIght Gull Grey" FS 16440/36440 (as far as I can tell, the same color, but the 1 in 16440 indicating Gloss vs the 3 in 36440 being matte) I could not find a direct Tamiya equivalent since that is my preferred paint but I did find a Vallejo FS36440 However, it was called Deck Tan. Of course this is much different than the Tamiya Deck Tan. looking online at color samples, they appeared to vary wildly. Sometimes even the same paint by the same manufacturer had different color samples shown for it depending on who was listing it I ordered the Vallejo "Deck Tan" and I also ordered Mission Modes Light Gull Grey FS 16440. I doubted they would match, but after testing them out, they appear to be very close (the mission models one being maybe a bit darker?) In fact it was almost the kind of difference I would expect from gloss vs matte as adding a gloss sometimes seems to darken it a bit example, here is a color sample from [URL]https://www.eduard.com/mission-models-paint/paints/us-aircraft-modern-and-wwii/mission-models-paint-light-gull-gray-fs-16440-30ml.html[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mmp-069-lighte-gull-grey_z1.jpg"]88901[/ATTACH] and here is the color sample of the exact same paint but from same paint from a different vendor???? [URL unfurl="true"]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0114/0568/8898/products/mmp-069_500x500.jpg?v=1580854275[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mmp-069_500x500.jpg"]88902[/ATTACH] although i am not sure if either truly represent the color seen in person. It feels almost like it is somewhere in between [/QUOTE]
