Boeing and Airbus panel and knob colors

Featured Replies

I ran across information about touch up colors for Boeing and Airbus style panels, knobs and buttons. I don't have first hand experience, so can't say how close the color match is, but since the information is from Gables Eng, a manufacturer of commercial gear sold to Boeing and Airbus, I would think it would be close. Except where noted otherwise, the paints are solvent based enamels.Boeing 705 light gray - Testors 1730 flat gull grayBoeing dark brown - Testors 4365 burnt brown (water-based acrylic)Boeing beige - Testors 4720 sand (flat) (water-based acrylic)Boeing brown - Testors 2008 raw sienna (flat)Airbus light blue gray - Testors 2109 french light blue gray (flat)Airbus dark blue gray - Testors 2105 french dark blue gray (flat)DACO gray - Testors 1723 gunship grayMikewww.mikesflightdeck.com

Now to find Humbrol/Revell Paints that match the Testors ones for us living in Europe.

Awesome. I always wondered about that, but never asked. Thanks, I really needed this info.Regards,Kevin
