 Better link.
 I have the set but haven't used it yet.
The colors are close enough for me. The grey-green was what I was looking for in particular.
I use the colors as specified in kit instructions or color profiles.

Hard to pin down as it seems to be used all over the Gotha , with no real desiignation.
I got a number of variants of the color as well from diff manufacturers . just color matching so I can have a selection
WNW recommends XF 76 or Humbrol 90.
Here is a selection of the color rom Vallejo :

Would the Fokker Grey color be used on the EI-III as the overall color now accepted on many aircraft?
