Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-308 Gray (FS36375)

Complete your modern military aviation projects with the industry-standard accuracy of Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-308 Gray. This specialized semi-gloss acrylic is precision-matched to Federal Standard FS36375, widely known as "Light Ghost Gray." It is the essential base color for the Tactical Paint Schemes (TPS) used on iconic US Navy and Air Force fighter jets.

Key Features

Federal Standard Precision H-308 is the definitive match for FS36375. It is most commonly used as the primary underside and lower-fuselage color for the F-15, F-16, and F/A-18, serving as the perfect lighter companion to H-307 (Dark Ghost Gray).

Scale-Appropriate Semi-Gloss Finish The semi-gloss (satin) sheen provides a realistic, non-reflective tactical finish. Its smooth texture is ideal for decal adhesion, ensuring your markings sit flat without the need for an extra gloss clear coat.

Safe & Low-Odor Formula This water-based acrylic resin formula is designed for indoor comfort. It is low-odor and non-toxic once dry, offering a safe, user-friendly alternative to solvent-heavy paints while delivering professional-tier results.

Superior Detail Preservation Known for its exceptional self-leveling properties, H-308 flows effortlessly over surface textures. It provides a thin, durable coat that highlights—rather than hides—delicate panel lines and rivets.

Application Guide

Hand Brushing: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, consistent layers. The paint’s leveling agents help eliminate brush marks as it cures, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface.

Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). For the ultimate "ghost gray" finish and optimal flow, we highly recommend using Mr. Aqueous Thinner.

Pro-Tips for Light Ghost Gray

The Tactical Gradient: When painting a modern US Navy subject, use H-308 for the belly and vertical stabs, transitioning into H-307 on the upper surfaces. This creates the authentic counter-shading look used in real-world combat environments.

Seamless Weathering: The semi-gloss finish is perfect for "pin-washing." Use a dark gray panel liner to define details; the smooth surface of H-308 allows you to wipe away any excess wash cleanly for a professional, weathered look.

Cleanup: Clean brushes and equipment with water or specialized acrylic cleaner immediately after use. For dried residue in an airbrush, a dedicated hobby cleaner is recommended.
