JamesHatch Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi guys, I'm busy painting the Bf 109V7, and as this has the early red band on the tail-fin, with the swastika, I need to know if there is a specific colour that this red is? Can anyone suggest paint refs for it? Cheers, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm guessing RLM 23 Jim, but I don't really know. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I would imagine it would be RLM23. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Well, that's two guesses for RLM 23! In terms of paint options, Gunze makes one (H414), as does Vallejo in their Model Air range (AV 71102). Not sure about other brands, but I'm sure there would be others. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Looks awesome Jim, and the red looks spot-on. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 NoNoNo that red is all wrong !! Should be a little redderish, I was there, I know . So Jim, what's your secret home brew for 63 ? Just curious. Very nice work so far by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi Mike, This isn't a mix I can take credit for at all. It's a mix that a friend of Maciej (Kegero) uses. To mix this you need Gunze paint in the following proportions: 70% C060 and 30% C338. Thanks for the comments guys. This one hasn't got long to go now.
