Jazzy Jase Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 My references say... RLM 02 Grau Interior colour, also used as overall colour on prototypes 34*H:29 + 13*H:25 + 12*H:34 + 2*H:82 or 4*H:168 + 1*H:75 + 1*H:92 + 1*H:10 or H:92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Based on the colour chart included with the latest edition of Michael Ullmann's book, 224 Dark Slate Grey is close but it's too dark when wet. If your aren't going to varnish over it, it's pretty good. The alternative is 31 Slate Grey, which is a very good match for RAL 7033, which in turn is apparently the correct modern match for RLM 63. I'd probably claim "scale effect" and use 31 for both of these shades. You certainly wouldn't be far away. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Millman Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Sorry to complicate things but as part of another exercise I measured all the actual paint chips and samples of RLM 02 I could get my hands on. They varied of course, but the closest RAL to all of them was consistently 7003 Moosgrau (Moss Grey). Further I also replicated the paint using modern equivalents of the original pigments and measured the result. Same. I haven't yet mixed/matched a Humbrol paint to this. I have the detailed figures if anyone wants them but knowing the animosity towards colour precision, Munsell and the photospectrometer by some here, I won't include them in this post.

FalkeEins Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 as John says 31 - given as the equivalent 02 grau in the new Bf110 painting guide.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 as John says 31 - given as the equivalent 02 grau in the new Bf110 painting guide.. Hadn't noticed that as I didn't look at the painting diagrams until last night!! Pity they give '32' - presumably RLM66 equivalent - for the cockpit and undercarraige interior.
