Hi Matt and welcome.

Is that scheme a new one?? Looks pretty much like the standard grey to me.. darker in the first shot as it's in shade and lighter in the second which is in sunlight. I have the Iris GR4 here somewhere so will see it I can find it but I don't remember the paints being much different to those shots.

Not sure what success you'll get with a repaint from here Matt as we tend to do our own models. UKMIL would probably do it (maybe has done it for himself) but are not able to release repaints for Iris models. If it IS a different shade of grey.. maybe you'll strike lucky :)

Looking at pics of one of those aircraft on A.net it appears to bet he same colour in 2005 as 2009

One pic in May 2009 maks it look lighter but another taken in September 2009 make it look just as dark as 2005

Maybe just a light thing but I couldn't see a difference on first look at the original post *-)

The new painted Tornado GR4's are painted with a lighter grey, the grey colour is more clear in the 2 example picture, sorry about the pictures I forgot about the difference in light. Hopes this helps abit :)

the aircraft are actually a different shade you are correct, but that is merely down to a different paint supplier. As for the repait, the IRIS restrictions prevent us from doing it. I have contact D Brice on occaisions to life the ban, but he never graces me with even a response, so it looks like you will have to learn to paint this one yourself :wall:
