Thanks Folks!

Steffen, I have used a dark gray - I know its propably too dark, but initially I had planned to do it with the wheels up ..so ...

Anyway - the one at NASM has silver finish in the wheelwells and on the gear - even if its done at Dornier in the 70“ties its propably not correct. The instrutions calls out for "RLM Gray" ...

Who knows what happend that late in the war - its the same color that I used on the spinners - but considering the effort that went into the camo its propably true that all painting would be according to regulations - doing it by the book until the end...

How does RLM 02 look ? - light gray ?

Cheers/Jan

Hi Jan

RLM 02 is a greenish warm light grey. Tamiyas XF 22 RLM grey is quite close:

The colour samples from IPMS Stockholm do not look that good to me (they have 3 different FS calls) .. might be my non calibrated monitor .. the closest is FS 24226 but I am not totally happy with it. ... maybe look at my Me 163A .. it is 02 over all



cheers

Steffen

Ah, thanks. Well then mine is certainly too dark - might lighten it up with a wash and a drybrush - but repainting is too late.
