Sky (RAF) sits in the green family: very light in tone, moderate in saturation, cool in cast. For modelling, drop to Beige (RAL 1001) in the recesses and step up to Light Grey (RAL 7035) on the edges, both Revell paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, AK Interactive Apc Interior Light Green (Fs 24533) closest at 78 percent. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
