U.S.A.F. Middle Grey/Mittelgrau USAF
Base · #647364
U.S.A.F. Middle Grey/Mittelgrau USAF sits in the grey family: mid-tone in tone, muted in saturation, cool in cast. Matching it is straightforward: Tamiya Field Grey lands at 93 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Patina Green (RAL 6000) underneath and Greyish Green/Schilfgrün (RAL 6013) on the highlights, all in the Revell line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
