Cs28 Falklands Conflikt Paint Set Vol.2
Hataka CS28

Standard colours of British planes during the Falklands (Malvinas) conflict

British air services in the Falklands (Malvinas) Conflict included detachments of RAF, Fleet Air Arm (FAA), Royal Marines and Army Air Corps. Most of the aircraft used wore standard pre-war colours with major exception regarding FAA’s Harriers. Those belonging to 800 and 801 NAS had Extra Dark Sea Grey extended to their undersides. As EDSG was regarded as too dark for operations at high altitudes, the reinforcing Harriers of 809 NAS (ferried on the Atlantic Conveyor) were repainted to Medium Sea Grey over Barley Grey scheme.
