RLM Colours

[Krupi]

Hi Chaps I could do with some help.

 

I am trying to find the RGB equivalent of RLM82 and 83.

 

I am testing what I have found on the internet on the P-51 and I am not particularly happy with them atm so any help would be appreciated.

 

 

 

P.S. Thank you to Whiplash for the use of his P-51 template.

The only digital reference I have is this: http://www.gyges.dk/Digital%20Luftwaffe%20WW2%20colours.pdf

 

Hope that helps :)

Thanks I will check them out tonight...

 

However I should also mention that I am looking for another version of RLM 82 called Bright Green.

I don't think there is an accurate guide anymore given the amount of change, paint shortage, mixing, use of enemy paint etc etc that occurred.

 

You may be better off seeing what some pedantic (in a good way) modellers have researched and look at their models to see what the schemes look like. Some paints referred to are always lightened for small models otherwise they end up too dark, so don't necessarily take a paint sample as being right - the underlying computer model skin might change things too I suppose.

 

For example:

By the way, the maker is renowned for Dora research so if you get in contact he may be able to help.
