I need assistance ..I'm in the process of painting the bombs included with Dragon's Bf 110 and in true Dragon fashion, they left out the colour identifiers from their painting legend. The manual states it's H 68 | 36? Any idea what colour this represents?

Thanks in advance,

Hermann.

Don't make them too clean and tidy!



I've seen a photo of externally carried bombs on a night camouflaged Ju88 (IIRC) with just the lower half painted in a dark (presumably black,to match the underside) colour!

You don't say which paints those reference numbers are for so I can't take a guess at that. Bombs could be many colours from blue,field grey,black,various greens,tan,aluminium....noone will say yours are the wrong colour whatever you do.

Thanks Steven for the great photo and info!

Hermann.

Most of the kits I've made have the colour as RLM70 Black Green, so I would go with that, short on any contradictory evidence.

thanks
Mike

To clarify a remark I made above,the bomb with the roughly painted black lower surface (and fins) is on an He111 of III./KG26.
The pictures are spookily on page 111 of Alfred Price's Luftwaffe in camera. At least that's where I just stumbled across them again.
