titan8251 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Time for an update..... Still banging away at this one. I must admit I am not exactly sure that RLM 74 is the right Gray for the Dark Gray on this one. Going to be Hartmans bird with the black tulip on the nose. May go back with some RLM 75 over the gray. What say you 109 people? Andy Edited September 22, 2017 by titan8251 sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan8251 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 A few more of the prop and gear while I try and figure out the color scheme. Andy sandokan, MikeC and nmayhew 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wow, Im far from an RLM expert, but it looks wonderful to me. The paintwork regardless of correct shade or not, is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If its a gray/green upper scheme, then it should be RLM 75 (gray violet) rather than the RLM 74 (dark grey). Looking good, looking forward to more! Doug Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titan8251 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Update....went back and went over the RLM 74 areas with the RLM 75. So would the green be RLM 82 or 83? Andy sandokan, LSP_Kevin, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) There are two late-war greens, a light/bright green and a dark green. It should be RLM 83 dark green with the RLM 75, but depending on whose paint your using it could be RLM 82 or RLM 83. This is because for many years RLM 82 was thought to be the dark green and RLM 83 was thought to be the light/bright green. A few years back new research showed this was reversed, and RLM 82 was bright/light green, and RLM 83 was dark green. So, depending on when the paint manufacturer made their paint formula, it could be either. The key is to make sure it's the one listed as dark green or dunkel grun. It looks like you've got the right green color on your tail planes in the pics above. Hope this helps!
