Question about RLM 76

[Zank_Frappa]

Perhaps this question has already been asked in an earlier post, but I was wondering about how to achieve the several variations that one might see when looking at RLM 76. I have often seen many models painted with RLM 76 looking very much lighter and more grey than the paint I've been using, model master RLM 76, which looks closer to an RLM 65 than anything. Perhaps this is due to an interpretation of the scale effect or differing pigments between paint manufacturers, I don't really know. If anyone could provide some assistance, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Reed

  I don't know the answer, but I'd imagine someone else will

You can create your own variations by adding a little light gray to your mix. Several, subtle shades of colors on the same model is acceptable given the sub-contracted manufacture of their aircraft, and adds visual interest. 

 

Mixing RAF Sky in their 76 about 50/50 works for the later greenish version of 76.
