Color-wise this is a moderate, very light green leaning cool. For modelling, drop to Light Blue in the recesses and step up to Light Grey (RAL 7035) on the edges, both Revell paints. Sky RAF/Himmelblau RAF is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Tamiya Sky comes nearest at 76 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
