Bf-109 Prop Color Question
Posted by CodyJ on Monday, April 6, 2015 7:14 PM

Hello Guys.  I am fixing a prop on a diecast of a BF109.  I have included the picture of the version the diecast is.  I was wondering what color would work for this?  Looks like a really dark green/black/gray-ish.  Is there an FS color?  Kinda Stumped.  I can mix a color but would like to be as accurate as possible.  Thanks!

They were "supposed" to be RLM 70, which is a dark greenish-black.  I personally think it looks too green on a scale model,  so I paint German props with Tamiya XF-69 NATO Black, which is black with greenish undertones.  It looks better to me.
