What is the RLM code for this camo
Posted by StingLikeABee on Friday, April 21, 2017 8:14 PM

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to figure out the colors on this fw 190. I'm slightly color blind, so I can't figure out the RLM numbers of these colors. What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

Standard late war colors were RLM74/75/76.

I know they were different (some greens thrown in the mix) early...and then even more different colors with the 190D and TA-152.

I thought that the late war camo colors were 81/82/83 (two of those) over 76. 74/75/76 was used from 1941 to 1944, but replaced by the 81/82/83 greens in late 1944.

Sorry, I forgot to put the link. This is what I'm trying to figure out. In the game, it's named "Eastern front, 1943". I'm not sure if they used exact colors, but anything close would work.

Looks like this scheme is RLM 80 (Olive Green) over RLM 79 (Sand Brown) with RLM 76 (Light Blue) undersides.

Yes the upper surface looks to be the tropical colors of 79/80. The lowers could be the temperate/continental scheme lower color of 76, or the standard tropical underside color 78. Seeing that is a computer skin, you can't be fanged for using either one.

Like Stik said the upper colors are 79 Sand brown and the splotches are 80 olive green. The underside should be 78 light blue

DITTO . This was a Mediterranean scheme.  Here is a picture of the Mono 190 in the same scheme

Actually, I take that back. Mediterranean Id markings would be white bands not yellow. This could be an eastern front scheme in which case the sky is th limit for the topside colors but the underside would be rlm76. The scheme on the model you linked to could also be fictitious.

You're right on the fuselage band. I'm actually currently building a bf 109 e7 trop. Rlm 79 and rlm 80 is the colors I'm using. So the fw 190 in the link is definitely not 79 and 80. 

I took the picture from a computer game called war thunder, and to be honest, almost all of the planes with different camouflage patterns are based on the real life patterns and colors. Of course there is a possibility that it can be fictitious, but you're actually right by saying it can be eastern front camo. If you look at the link, you'll see. When I choose this camo it shows the name, which is "eastern front, 1943". 

Someone said it might be RLM 81(brown version) with RLM 83 mottling, but I can't be exactly sure.

But not for 1943. Those colors RLMs 81/82/83 had not been introduced yet. JG-54 often added RLM-79 on top of RLM 70/71 in place of 74/75 schemes to match local conditions over the steppes.
