Can some one translate Tamiya's spray paint colors into RLM colors? I'm assuming RLM 81, 82, and 76, but I don't know which color is what. Thanks, Dan

IPMS Stockholm has a nice colour chart for RLM. Hopefully this will help you.

Eric, Thanks for the link. It looks like that will do the trick! It seems that the right wing on the HE 162 is 81 and the port 82. Dan

The He 162 was an interesting little machine. Components for them were manufactured in all sorts of underground workshops and then mated together in a large underground ex-salt mine; hence the mismatch of colours on some (not all) airframes. Enjoy!
