ATOM COLOR Ocean Grey
Ocean Grey, number ATOM-20137, is an AMMO acrylic for the upper surfaces of British fighters in the scheme with Dark Green. The matt water-based shade is supplied in 20 ml.
Ocean Grey is one of the classic British aviation colours: in the RAF day fighter scheme it formed the disruptive pattern of the upper surfaces together with Dark Green, while the undersides carried Medium Sea Grey. Modellers meet this tone on later Spitfire marks, on the Typhoon and on other British fighters of the second half of the war.
For RAF modellers it helps that this ATOM shade suits plastic kits as well as resin and metal upgrade parts, so the fuselage and replacement pieces share the same tone. The odourless acrylic forms a self-levelling matt layer that, according to AMMO, is not attacked by later acrylic or enamel washes.
