planecrazee Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi folks, Quick question to tap into your vast wealth of knowledge. I'm currently at the point where I'm going to start getting some paint on my BV222 for the Flying Boat GB (cutting it fine I know) but the Revell instructions refer to the two tone camo as being RLM 72 &73 rather than the usual 70 & 71. However, looking into 72 & 73 I'm having trouble trying to decipher what shades these should be and which manufacturer might have the best paint colour match. Revell would have you mix paints to create these colours but I'm trying to avoid mixing as much as possible as I'll need a fair amount of paint and don't want to be in a situation where I run out and then can't make the exact shade again. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 According to iModelKit Humbrol 243 and 244 are close but a good deal lighter. Would work as scale colour IF the colours are given correctly. I need to search my colour chips to make sure. Will let you know latest tomorrow.

We do; ACLW04 and ACLW05 respectively. As per all our 1930s and 1940s Luftwaffe colours they are matched to Merrick & Kiroff. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0730/0927/files/German_Air_Force_Luftwaffe_Colours_Chart.pdf?205554285801963019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
