Cheers all. Thanx aeronut, I knew your vast library would come good. I like to buy books, but with several projects I have to prioritise what my limited resources go on! Looks a great book Lee. Excellent research

Cheers, having just bought your Lynx Haynes manual, might have to save up for that one!

I have worked on 7 and am sure it is one shade of grey

Thanx Lee, already have a copy of your Lynx one on the way. I was at FAAM today, had hoped to find it in the shop! Did not see a Lynx either.

Cheers Dave and yes SNAFU I should have been specific. I need to paint parts of my cab ZD264. The colour is a light grey so basically the colour HAS3 were when they went out of service which is likely the same shade HMA8 are still now.
