Interesting "Ultra" intercept- Nick Beale's Ghostbombers website: 15 June 1944 CX/MSS/T221/70 From (Roman) I./KG 66, Abt. IT to Feldluftgau W. France, QM-QM 1 arms and equipment, (smudge) 4 on 15/6: For repainting newly allocated a/c (13 Ju 88 S-3) the following is required: 100 kg. thinning, 7200.00 40 kg. a/c paint (black) 7160.22 30 kg. a/c paint (blue) 7160.24 For ops, immediate allocation (collection by receiving authority) requested. NOTE: This appears to establish that (Roman) I./KG 66 is re-equipping on to Ju 88 S-3. Compare T220/131. T221/26 also mentioned Ju 188. That's a lot of blue paint for only markings. Another conundrum? Cheers, D.B.

Yes, it was 0.10 for me in the mid- 50's. Used to buy at Kress 5 & 10, with the wooden floors and Woolworths in Crowley, LA. Before that it was Monogram dope, only available at the hobby shop in Lake Charles, with that wonderful smell - along with banana oil, mmmm good. The product that changed everything for me was Pactra's flat enamel. They had a flat green, red, etc. it made military models much more realistic as opposed to unreal high gloss paint finishes. Ever tried adding talc to gloss enamel to flatten down a finish? What a chore! Cheers, D.B.

Excellent question, Matt. Research has been done regarding camouflage patterns from different factories, ie. Jerry Crandall - FW 190D & Tomas Poruba -109G-10/K4 - FW 190D, however, research regarding hues, if possible, is still yet to be pursued in a thorough manner. Beginning with Poruba's "Green" paint in a can marked 81from the WNF/Diana facility and Crandall's still of the power egg with unusual blue, green, etc. colors, we may have a start in winkling out which factory used which hue when. Thanks to those with primary sources, a/c parts and a love of the subject more clarity may be forthcoming. Cheers, D.B.

Sorry for the wrong attribution, Jerry. Cheers, D.B.

Thanks, Jerry! Can you give a time frame on publication? Some of us aren't getting any younger. Cheers, D.B.

Sachtleben Chemie, a German chemical company is affiliated with Pori, I believe. Connecting the dots. I've don't recall reading that 65, 76 and 78 were the priming/camouflage combos, only 02 and other colors were not. Makes perfect sense, though. My fog is clearing somewhat, thanks for that. Cheers, D.B.
