I need a little help from my friends.
I'm starting to build a Revell Junkers Ju87B, 1/32 scale, I chose to depict the Ju 87B-2, 4./St. G. 77, Bankanfeldzug. But I'm in front of a big problem, at least for me. I would like to know what colors are these: Granit Grey, Greenish Grey, Metallic Grey, or with which other names and brands I can find other equivalent paints to them. The two first colors are the main colors of the camo scheme.
(Granit Gray, that strange color!)

Cam'on guys, look what I found thereabout and at FineScale Forum:

"All Stuka's were painted at the factory. RLM 65 "light blue" for the underside. And RLM 71 "Dark Green" and RLM 70 "Black Green" for the upper surfaces. All extra camo was field applied, RLM 69 "Sand Yellow" for the desert. And the white used for winter schemes was just a whitewash with what ever they could find.
Bernie"

I hope this is useful for all

:-) Hey gaucho, sorry that I didn't see this sooner, now that you have got the colours sorted have you thought about entering the Battle for Britain campaign? A Ju 87B-2 would be perfect. Take a look at the "rules" via the link on the left. We would be glad to have you along :-)

Hi Mal,

Only now I saw your invitation, sorry, but I still didn't begin my Stuka, I am finishing a Shermann w/105mm, I think I won't get to build the Stuka on time for the campaign. Anyway thankful for the invitation.

Also, your cockpit is painted RLM 02 grey, as is your tailwheel. Your spinner will be RLM 70 Black Green.

You should have what you need, let us know if you need more help.

Hi Gaucho:

I´m also building a Stuka Ju 87 B2 but it´s a Hasegawa kit and the markings will be of the
III / 17 / St.G 77, this means 3rd Group, 17 Staffel, St.G 77.
The code in the fuselage is:
Two first digits (left of the Balkenkreuz) : F1
Third digit (right of the Balkenkreuz) : D (in white w / thin black border)
Fourth digit (right of the Balkenkreuz) : J

Letter D (third digit) means it´s the airplane of the Stab and the white colour means it´s from the III Group.
It also has a yellow fusselage band (the letter D upon it) that denotes the Rusian theatre.

In the front near the cockpit it carries the emblem of the Group.

Be carefull with the markings because they have a complex code system.
What letters have your plane ?

Well, after a long time I returned to show my Stuka that I finished sometime ago, with your help.
The pics are too darker, sorry.

Thank you Sir (both), I built my stuka OOB, just put a PE safe belts on it. The main colors that I used was Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green and Gunze H-65 Black Green, and a coat of clear varnish overall.
To csch (my neighbor): the letters are S2+DM.
I apologise to all friends which I didn't answer, before.
