In late December 2006, the Royal Australian Air Force started re-painting
their C-130J fleet in a new two-tone “dark grey” scheme. This is an interesting
choice as most RAAF transport aircraft have moved toward being repainted to a
single shade of green or grey in recent years.
The scheme consists of a very dark grey upper surface, a medium grey
underside, with all makings are in charcoal black.
The instructions give two sets of FS numbers for this scheme, as the finished
airframe appears much lighter then the official FS colours quoted.
The addition of the squadron crest on the tail is new to the “J” models.
Decals include all stencilling, squadron, and national markings, and are
designed for the Italeri edition of the C-130J.
Highly Recommended.
