After some quick RLM study... here are the choosen ones:





BTW.. the RLM 72.... not found equiv. with any VALLEJO MODEL AIR, only MODEL COLOR 980... if someone can help me i apreciate...
For now, i think 71018 or 71021 will do the job...

Hi Shep,

RLM 72 seems to have caused a lot of discussion over the web with a lot of differing opinions but It seems that the FS equivalent seems to be FS 34058.

Having said that, this was posted on LSP by Giorgio Spada some years ago having done a phenomenal amount of research into RLM colours etc :

http://www.largescal...ella_colori.pdf

Here's another chart showing the FS Numbers for all RLM colours: http://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/jgrlm.htm

Humbrol seem to do RLM 72 but only in a Matt Enamel (No 243)

Finally, ModelMasters (Testors) own paint chart show an acrylic RLM 72 under their ref 4782 here: http://www.testors.c...gory/136645?n=1

Hope this helps.

Grant.
