BS381C/638 RAF Dark Sea Grey color scheme is a historic shade of grey used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), mainly from the 1950s up to modern times. This color was widely used on combat aircraft such as the Hawker Hunter, English Electric Lightning, Buccaneer, and later versions of the Tornado and Typhoon. Its versatility made it the standard upper surface color for RAF aircraft during and after the Cold War.

The AK Interactive RC970 paint stands out due to its innovative lacquer formula, which far outperforms traditional acrylic and enamel products. It spreads perfectly even on fine details of plastic, resin, and 3D printed models. Thanks to its fluid consistency, it is ideal for airbrush application—allowing you to achieve a smooth, even finish without runs or visible brush marks. Once dry, it forms a durable, flexible, satin layer that prevents chipping and abrasion during subsequent stages of work, including the application of washes, filters, or pigments.
