Hi, does anyone know the exact colour used for the Lighnings based in Germany in the 70s and 80s? I have been scratching around for a while trying to find the correct shade of green, but have had no luck so far.
Cheers,
Dave

dark Green Bs.641 (Humbrol.163).
Many thanks
The uppersurface colours were the standard RAF Dark Green and Dark Sea Grey. Xtracrylix XA1001 and XA1004 respectively are excellent matches for these colours. Be aware that although the standard undersurface colour at the time was Light Aircraft Grey, the undersurfaces of Lightnings were usually natural metal.
Not for Germany-based Lightning F.2As - these were dark green on the upper surfaces only.
HTH,
Andre
That's correct! I forgot about those - it was a *long* time ago...!
