Good match for RLM77 Grey


Yellow13

Recommended Posts

Hi All, Looking through the profiles of FW190D9s in Jerry Crandall's two volume set on the FW190D9s and I was struck at how many of the camouflage schemes used RLM77 Grey especially on the wings. This rasies the question of who makes a good match for this colour in their line of paints. I tend to use enamels but acrylic paints are also so doable. Any thoughts on this welcomed. :hmmm:

G'day,

I use the Lifecolor range of acrylics.

however doing a quick search I came up with this :

http://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/jgrlm.htm F/S 36492 which also appears to be RLM 63v.2 according to this site.

Humbrol 196, and Tamiya XF66 seem to be a close match.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Michael.

Here's a build I did using Xtracrylix XA1136 Light Compass Grey for RLM 77. It's the light grey on the wings. I thought it worked out nicely. I bet there's a similar colour in the Xtracolour range if you want to avoid acrylics.
