Relic Plywood pieces from a BF-109 G10

[Gazzas]

One thing that I find really interesting about RLM 76 is that when it is paired with 74 and 75, I looks almost white-grey, losing all of it's blue and green tones.

Thanks Matsu, I'm very glad you find this interesting, I  appreciate it ,cheers

thanks Gazzas, I  have to confess  that I like your signature picture  cheers mate!

 

well I have spayed the RLM 75,  the recipe I  used  as a base   is   H 331 Dark Sea grey (Great Britain)  but it needed a bit of red tone,  H 13 like a 5% and a 10% of white 

next is the RLM 74, cheers

thanks mate!

the custom color mix test has been done, for the RLM 74 I used 60%  of (H 401 Dark Grey)+  30%(H42 Blue Gray) + 10% (White)

once the colors were sprayed I coated with a matt barnice with 10% white mix to tone down colors to produce a scale effect.

this has been fun,  matching my relic samples and applying to a model  with these colors used in 109G6's  and some late versions, specially those that were built at Erla plant which have a sawtooth wing camo pattern and abundant round  mothling patches on the fuselage,  I put some comparison side by side so you can be the judge yourself and take your own conclusions.

next I'll apply  this test to my 109g 1/32  model which I will post in "work in progress" section.

cheers

Gott im Himmel!  Your port side Hakenkreuz is turned about.  It needs to be facing so that the arms reach out clockwise.  Other than that, the paint job looks great.  A little super-fine wet sanding on your mottle will reduce your overspray.

I love the color results you've come up with.  That will really make the 109 shine.

Thanks Gazzas,  the Hakenkreuz looks that way just because the picture is flipped, I only paint one side of the model so in order to compare with the reference images I did that, this was just a quick experiment and focus more on the overall colour balance , I didn't worry much about the other aspects which will take care in the 109 model coming soon, cheers mate!

Cool! Almost looks like the old model master colors from testors...

Dear all,

 

I too obtained some samples from the same crash site. I have gently cleaned and then scanned the pieces with a colour measuring device.

 

I post here the results for your interest:

Hi, the swatches are on the above graphic. RLM 74/75 with 76 below, surrounded by neutral gray. 

[LSP_Ray]

I see the swatches, but your hosting site has thrown a huge watermark over it which ruins the pic.
