Need aircraft blue/gray color......

[JollySipper]

Hey, Guys....... I want to order the Italeri 1/48 V-22 Osprey, and I'll need to order the paint for it when I do.... Who makes the light blue/gray color used by the Marines on these aircraft? It will need to be in a spray, as I don't have an air brush.........

Thanks for any help!

".......with Scale Fade"  Wow!

Thanks, Joe, but that seems to be the MV-22B scheme, I'd like to do the plain V-22 so I can do a solid color if I can.........

Would one of those grays on the color chart be what I'm looking for?

There is no "plain" V-22 with the exception of the pre-production aircraft which has the designation of V-22A. "V-22" is a general designation. The USMC uses MV-22B's, the USN uses CMV-22B's and the USAF uses CV-22B's. All are/have been painted in multi-color schemes since they were accepted for service. Check out Bell-Boeing V-22, paint schemes and more for the various schemes used. Also, here is the instruction sheet for the kit so you can familiarize yourself with the assembly.
