Hi, I’ve started my Hasegawa 1-48 scale Henschel 129B3 (the one with the big gun). But the kit instructions are a bit vague on the colours in the cockpit, it states that everything needs to be done in RLM 66. Does it all need to done in RLM 66 ?? Apart a decal for the instrument panel, it looks rather boring. Anyone got any ideas, reference sites or pics I could use.
Thanks for any help.

Hi mossieramm
you might try doing tones of 66. A little lighter here and a little darker there.
RLM 66 was just as likely to have had manufacturers match problems as all other RLM colours.
Hope it helps
Cheers

You could do quite a bit of weathering where flying boots rubbed against projecting ridges. Climbing into the cockpit of one of those things was akin to a hermit crab backing into it's shell---an extremely snug fit!
