Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it.

Hi Eli

 

I'd go with Sand 49, which predates the 1943 ANA comprehensive color system change, though Sand 49 and ANA 616 are similar colors. Sand 49 did fade into a pinkish hue after prolonged exposure to a hot and arid environment.

 

Cheers,

Damian

Makes me think about all the conjecturing over the years about "late war RLM 66" and how green it looked, turns out maybe it was 70 or 71 all along??

 

My thoughts, too.

[Interesting Luftwaffe camouflage info]

Sammelmitteilung Nr. 3 (Dec, 1944):

 

Verwendung von Lacken in überholten Sichtschutz - Farbtöne bei Metallflugzeugen: Az. 70 K 10.11

Die Rohstofflage verbietet die Verachröttung von hochwertigen Lacken mit überholten Sichtschutzfarbtönen. Daher wird festgelegt, daß Bestände an

a) Flw. 7109 und 7122 in den Farbtönen 70, 71 und 74 als Innenlacke für Führerräume anstelle des Farbtons 66 aufgebraucht werden.

 

Translation:

 

Use of obsolete shades of camouflage paint for metal aircraft: Ref. 70 K 10.11

The raw material situation prohibits the destruction of high-quality paints with obsolete camouflage shades. It is therefore specified that stocks of

a) Flw. 7109 and 7122 in shades 70, 71 and 74 are to be used up as interior paints for the cockpit instead of shade 66.
