Currently working on another AV-8B II+ Harrier skin in Falcon 4.0 BMS. This version is closer to the Sea Harrier FRS1 colour scheme used early in the Falklands War.

Colours: Extra Dark Sea Grey (Humbrol 123) over Satin White (Humbrol 130).

Sea Harrier FRS1 Colour Schemes

'Prior to the Falklands, RN Fleet Air Arm Sea Harriers carried a two-tone scheme of Humbrol 123 (Extra Dark Sea Grey) over Humbrol 130 (Satin White). During the campaign, these aircraft had the white portions over-painted to make an overall Humbrol 123 (Extra Dark Sea Grey) scheme. In operations, this scheme was deemed too dark at high level and replacement aircraft were given an Medium Sea Grey paint job. After the Falklands campaign, all Sea Harriers were repainted in an even lighter scheme of overall Humbrol 164 (Dark Sea Gray).'

'Operationally this overall scheme was deemed too dark and replacement aircraft were painted with a lighter scheme of overall Medium Sea Grey. All aircraft were gradually repainted in the lighter scheme during and after the campaign'.
