What are the correct Tamiya or Model Master colors for the German Greens and underside color on a Heinkel HE-111 from the Battle of Britian.

This site might be handy - not specifically for BoB but still representative of the type:

If im not mistaken RLM 65 was first, the later replaced by RLM76, so early ww2 luftwaffe used RLM65

Bombers had RLM 65 undersurfaces, throughout the war. At the start fighters also wore RLM 65 but this was changed to RLM 76 with the advent of the Grey scheme (RLM 74, 75, 76) Galland experimented with this scheme on his Bf 109E (see my model at the top of the page)

Hi AJ:

Some time ago I published here in Armorama an article on Luftwaffe colors in WW 2 that may help.
Here is a link to it:

http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=printpage&artid=186

In the Features section there is a lot of usefull information about the matters of our interest, itīs a great section to check.
