Testors Model Master line has both the Grey and Grey/Green for the
fulcrum. These are more or less matched to FS 26440 and 24233 (I
think, I don't have my references at hand right now). Both colors seem
semigloss, but of course they will turn dull on a weathered plane.
For the Grey you can use a number of paint brands (Gunze, Humbrol
ecc.) as it's a widely available color (maybe you just have to fix the
gloss of flat hue) but the Grey/Green is only available from Testors
model master.
Btw. Others, such as Rob, indicates FS 36375 (or 26375) as the right
color for the grey: maybe it's that one on the real, factory fresh,
plane. However this color seems to fade quickly and considering scale
effect (and the fact that successive weathering will darken the paint
a bit) I think FS 26440 is more appropriate (but this is just my
personal point of view).
I use instead FS 36375 for the cockpit (others prefer a slightly more
blueish color), xtracolor soviet radome/wheel hub green for the wheels
(or the old, almost unfindable "Red Paint" radome green, I still have
one bottle of it) and FS 36118 for the radome and other dielectric
areas (on top of the fins and fuselage).
