Hi all,
I am building the Academy Stuka G-2 and the instructions call for RLM 70 for the prop....is this correct?.

Were they ever black or other color depending on the variant?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, I believe luftwaffe proppeller blades were generally RLM 70 black green. Period photos seem to indicate a semigloss finish
