Most of my references indicate the Gris Blue Clair - FS 35189/25189 what would be correct comparing to Waroff's info. However the "15" above seems to had the matt silver colour there. That would be also correct according to Waroff.

Gris Blue Clair it is. Tamiya calls for a mix of XF-25 Light Sea Grey and XF-2 White: 2/1. Vallejo Model Air also have it. The one thing I hate about Vallejo is their labeling system as the call it "USAF Medium Grey"

C'est bonne. I have it and it beats mixing. Off to kill myself on the tread climber for 20 minutes, watch the Jays play the Mariners ( a buddy is at the game) and then continue modlin'.

Much to the wife's chagrin, I survived....on to the game...
Geo.. I have found two next shots showing the area that we are interested in. Also I digged a little bit in the net. In a couple of D.520 profiles I have noticed thet the surface under the rear window appears of the slight yellowish tinge. According to the list of the French colours there was another paint used for cockpits. It was the Gris Blue Ciel FS 34414 or FS 35352 that was used for undersides. Perhaps the one could be used for the areas. The name of the paint sounds almost the same and these names can be confused often. However it is quite light. Not sure but the Sable ( Chamois ) paint ( FS 33594) could be possible too. It could have been the reason for the yelowish tinge.

That looks similar to RAF duck egg green

Thanks Hugh
To sum up.. while I don't recommend the pic as the source for colours of the Armee De l'Air it could be used in the case. The colour of the surface under the rear windows seems to be of the light blue-grey looking like the one at the undersides.. So.. you may use a paint of the hue.
