I'm building Revell's 1/144 E-2C Hawkeye and want to finish it in French Aeronavale colors.
The instructions indicate Revell's Hellgrau 76 but I can't find a cross-reference for this color to Humbrol or any other paint line.
Can anyone tell me what Humbrol color Heller recommends for their kit? Or better yet, recommend a gray that matches the French Aeronavale E-2C paint scheme?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You maybe could try HU140 ou Gunze 333. But Im not sure.

Hellgrau cross-references to Humbrol 175, but I think that was discontinued. Bear in mind that at 1/144 you should take scale colour effects into account - the effects that the real-world-equivalent distance of view would have on the colour - fading it by mixing in a spot of white or so :-) Ian Huntley recommended 23% white for 1/144th scale. Based on that a near match might be Humbrol 128, Compass Grey; or Humbrol 145, Medium Grey.
The Heller 1/72 E-2C, also in French colours, shows Humbrol 127 overall.
