Looking For This Seafire Color Scheme For A Painting

20Valve · #1 (**permalink**) 2nd September 2007, 05:17

I am searching for info on the color scheme of this Seafire. It is a screen shot from IL2 I stumbled across and I decided to complete a painting based on the image - I am altering some aspects of course. I have everything drawn out and now I need specific livery info. The screen shot seems to be taken as dusk and has some pink mixed in. I would like a definitive color reference for accuracy. I think it is a historically accurate example.

Can anyone provide more info? Thanks for any help.

BS 640 Extra Dark Sea Grey
BS 634 Dark Slate Grey
BS 210 Sky

That would be grand. I would love to know a little about the subject I am painting. I plan to complete a whole series paintings based on screenshots. You don't mind if I use yours?
