AK Interactive Real Colors – Light Grey FS 36495 (RC921)

FS 36495 is the pale underside grey that shows up across US Navy and USMC tactical schemes the lighter half of the two-tone split on early F/A-18s and A-4 Skyhawks, and still doing duty on naval helicopters today. AK’s Real Colors line is a lacquer-based paint developed from real reference samples for proper colour accuracy, and it’s built to run through an airbrush without a fight.

Best for

• Undersides on 1980s-era US Navy and USMC tactical grey schemes
• Naval helicopter tactical colours
• Any build calling for an accurate FS 36495 match

Thin it with AK’s own High Compatibility Thinner, load the airbrush and it lays down smooth and self-levelling, drying to a soft, realistic finish that holds up well once you start weathering over the top.

The pale half of a Navy tactical scheme. Pick up the darker companion greys from the full AK Real Colors range.
