A question relating to a work in progress build...

[RiotRolo]

About 6 months ago I bought ICM's BF109 F4 as it was on ebay with all eduard interior and exterior add- ons. 

I have began work on the cockpit gluing all the pieces that require painting and have noticed that the colour of the eduard cockpit pieces that are already detailed and 'painted' differ from the colour the cockpit should be. It is the RLM 02 luftwaffe cockpit colour when most sites and even the ICM instructions are using the RLM 66 black grey. 

 

Do I go with the RLM 02 and risk it being wrong? I only bought the kit for the eduard parts so do not want to waste them.  

Cheers,

Only the very early F's retained the 02 cockpit finishes. 66 is the correct cockpit colour for F-4's.

Thanks, I have had this problem with Eduard photo etch in the past, it described the PE as being suitable for F2 or F4's which might be why it is in the 02 colouration. I might go ahead and paint it 02 in any case as if I painted 66 it would cause the PE parts to lose all the detail.
