Historical use of the Gris Bleu Fonce colour

Gris Bleu Fonce is a distinctive blue-grey shade widely used by the French Air Force – Armée de l’air – on combat aircraft during World War II. This colour appeared mainly on large external surfaces of airplanes such as the Morane-Saulnier MS.406, Dewoitine D.520, and Potez 63, used during the French campaign and later in units fighting in North Africa. This authentic shade will also be appreciated by modellers replicating early war machines and aircraft later delivered to the Free French Forces.
