Just got r-m Ju-88c-6. One color scheme is overall02 withRLM74 shading . Is this correct?
Or would these be in 74/75/76? Or something else. Thanks. Jarhead

Hi jarhead,
its probably the 74/75/76 scheme that is the most representative.
RLM 02 was used as a primer and some aircraft did keep it as part of the overall camo scheme so it is quite possible.

More knowledgable advise should follow from our resident experts.

Cheers and sorry can't help more without delving into the references.
Peter

Hi there George

I've certainly got refs for RLM 02 being used on Ju 88C nightfighters around 1942... but it would need a lot more detail to chase down the particular scheme in question.

All the best

Thanks Flitzer&Merlin. This aircraft was in Holland in42. I found adrawing inOsprey's book"German Nightfiger Aces" quoting the colors as a mix of greys. Also,the instruction say the plane was flown by Helmut Lent. Any more info is most welcome. Thanks.Jarhead
