Colour of VC10s?

I have an airfix model of a VC10 which I want to paint in the colours of the VC10 when my Grandfather flew them in the late 60’s/early/mid 70’s. Like this:

Any idea which airfix paints will look best?

Cheers

The top is white, the bottom is RAF Light Aircraft Gray,

So normally Humbrol 166 or 129, or Tamiya XF-20, or Xtracolor X15, Or Gunze 332 according to IPMS Stockholm charte:

And here are decals for your model: http://www.f-dcal.fr/pages/silk/14018.html

Hope it helps.
