I'm going to paint up some Sea Fury and Firefly aircraft They have a two tone paint scheme. A gray topside a light buff/tan belt and underside. Any suggestions on Vallejo colors?

That's about right.
Don't go tan buff but more of an off-white. |

It is not buff/tan or off white. It's BS210 (BS381C-210) Sky link The upper surfaces air BS640 (BS381C-640) Extra Dark Sea Grey

Both have a semi-matt finish. The Vallejo colours appear too dark for Sky, and not blue enough for Extra Dark Sea Grey. |
