Mr Hobby Aqueous Hobby Colour H-331 Dark Sea Gray Semi-Gloss Acrylic Paint 10ml

Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-331 Dark Sea Gray (BS381C/638)

Achieve historical accuracy for your Royal Air Force and Royal Navy subjects with Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-331 Dark Sea Gray. This specialized semi-gloss acrylic is precision-matched to the BS381C/638 British Standard, making it the definitive choice for replicating the iconic upper-surface camouflage found on post-war British jets and naval aircraft.

Key Features

Authentic British Standard Match H-331 is specifically formulated to represent Dark Sea Gray (BS638), the essential companion to H-330 Dark Green for classic RAF "wraparound" or temperate camouflage patterns.

Perfect Semi-Gloss Sheen The semi-gloss (satin) finish provides a realistic scale appearance that mimics the slightly weathered paint of a working aircraft. It is smooth enough to allow for excellent decal adhesion without the need for multiple gloss clear coats.

Safe & Low-Odor Formula As part of the Aqueous Hobby Color line, this paint is water-based and non-toxic once dry. It’s perfect for hobbyists painting in shared indoor spaces who want professional results without the harsh fumes of lacquers.

Exceptional Detail Preservation The high-quality resin formula is designed to level out beautifully while remaining thin enough to preserve every rivet, panel line, and surface texture on your model.

Application Guide

Hand Brushing: Use straight from the jar for small details or thin slightly with Mr. Aqueous Thinner for larger areas. The self-leveling properties help significantly reduce visible brush strokes.

Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 up to 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). For the smoothest atomization and a durable, professional-grade finish, we recommend using Mr. Aqueous Thinner.

Pro-Tips for Dark Sea Gray

The NATO Camouflage Pair: For the most accurate 1960s-1980s RAF look (found on Harriers, Phantoms, and Vulcans), use H-331 Dark Sea Gray alongside H-330 Dark Green.

Scale Effect: If you are building a smaller scale model (like 1/72 or 1/144), you can add a drop of white to H-331 to account for "scale color" distance, making the gray look more natural on a smaller subject.

Cleanup: Clean brushes and airbrushes with water or specialized acrylic cleaner while the paint is still wet. For dried paint, use a dedicated hobby tool cleaner.
