F-35 Questions

[Aviacom]

Hi All,

I'm confused by some of the information that I have on the F-35.

 

Until I can clear up this confusion, I'm at a halt on my 1/32 F-35!

 

So, the White U/C and Weapons bays, the color given is 'White', now is this FS17875 White or Pure White?

 

For the Overall 'Have Glass' Scheme, some say FS36118 Gunship Gray, whilst others state FS36170 Camo Gray? Obviously with the 'Have Glass' Matt Varnish over the main Gray.

 

Same for the RAM Panels and Nose,  some say FS36375 Light Ghost Gray (Looks to light to me), some say FS36320 Dark Ghost Gray (Looks right to me), and some say FS36134.

So which is actually correct?

 

Thanks in advance.

Speaking for myself, it will be whatever I have handy.  I discovered long ago that life is just too short.

The bay color would likely be a FS paint spec.

 

The dark gray exterior color is a “Have Glass” color FS 36170, while the insignia and markings are FS36375.  I’m not sure there is an official spec for the RAM panels, but the color seems to vary depending on the angle and lighting.  Note that more recent F-35s seem to have been coated in overall FS 36170, with the RAM panes in the same color.
