With flash it looks silver grey, maybe unpolished aluminium.  Without flash it has a slight tan cast to it so more like stainless steel.
No blue.  Not to my eyes anyway.  Usual caveats apply regarding judgement of colours.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks mate  ;D
That helps a heap ...under a different light I can see the aluminium your seeing but that also reminds me of Humbrols metalcote polished steel too....it's got the same sheen to it .
Then I'm quite happy knowing that when I paint this with PRU Blue it's gonna be right ✅️.
I'm going to have to buy some light gray primer cause this is far to dark .
I'm thinking of re-priming this in white ..then the blue will pop 😀

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

First pic looks blueish grey to me, the second one definitely aluminum. Could be a factor of the background colors influencing the camera and/or eyeball.

Yeah you can see why I took one pic with a flash and the other without .
To my eyes it's looked very bluey grayish but this morning under the light I use for air brushing it's aluminium ...trusting me eyes to colour I can not .

Ummmmmmmm, possibly your photos, my eyes, or my laptop but that looks grey to me.

 :unsure:

Any chance of pics in daylight?

Looking good, nonetheless.  :thumbsup:

You can see the roots of the original aircraft, but at the same time the changes make it more than a little different.

Onward!

Oh i'm not doubtng you Phill.  Maybe PRU Blue fades that way.
But this is Vallejo PRU Blue (the unfaded version) here on the underside of this Armstrong Whitworth Lamington.  I was sort of expecting something similar.


Doesn't detract from the build though.

May you see the sun again soon.

Looks like primer grey to me as well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

HA a double quote 🤣

I'm also going to take a pic or two with the flash inside and see what difference there is  :thumbsup:

Yup, add another one to the grey side... looks about the same as tamiya's XF-19 sky grey.
