Color-wise this is a muted, light grey leaning cool. For modelling, drop to Raf Camouflage Beige (Hemp) Bs381C/389 in the recesses and step up to Light Ghost Grey Fs 36375 on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Light Green Blue is the nearest same-finish option at 80 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Rlm 65 (1941) equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Rlm 65 (1941) cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Light Green Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 4.0).
Best Revell option: Revell Light Grey (USAF), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
From Tamiya: Tamiya RLM Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Warm Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
The honest caveat: Vallejo Light Green Blue dries slightly darker than Rlm 65 (1941), so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
