Que. re: Hawker Hunter underside color

When did they go from silver to grey? Do you think this picture shows grey or silver:

I think it is silver but I'd like some confirmation. I want to finish out my Revell Hunter F.6 in 4 Sqn. colors but don't know about the bottom.

Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack, The bottom is silver.Early sixties the bottom was silver.They changed in the late 60/early 70 to gloss sea gray medium BS.637.Your modell is an Mk.F.4,and is silver or called High Speed Silver.I think Nissan silver from Halford's, is the right paint.HTH. Han Krol, Holland

A quite effective but unfortunately not definitive method is to look at the roundels, if they are type D i.e. red/white/blue then the chances are the aircraft will have silver undersides, if they are tactical red/blue roundels, then it will have grey undersurfaces, as they were usually applied at the same time as the camouflage repaint.

Happy modelling Ant
