OK I am going into the dark side for a little bit. I am normally an armor builder but now I am building a 1/72nd scale Storch. I was watching the HBO movie "Conspiracy", and saw a Storch that Reinhart Heydrich flew.
I would like to know what were the colors for the particular splinter camoflage?
I think that they were Duck egg blue for the underside and Black green and Dark green were the splinter colors. Please help me with this task.

Hi Jody

Normal camo would be RLM 70/71/65. I suggest you use premixed colours from Gunze or Modelmaster. Have a look here for other colours:

HTH, ask if you have more questions

cheers

Steffen
