ADOLF GALLANDS #16 Bf/109E-3 ?
Posted by spiralcity on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 2:14 PM

I'm looking for some help on the proper dark green in the camo scheme. Listed in my directions is Humrol #2 71 Dark Green. I belive this is the right number, as the directions are a bit erratic, it could mean 2/71 dark green, I'm not at all sure, I only know that I cant find a reference to this color at Humrol.

If anyone knows the correct Tamiya color, or MM, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

RLM 71 was dark Green, it could be reffering to that.

Is this enamel or Acrylic colours.

I had a look at the Hiumbrol acrylic range and there is no mention, and it doesn't match to the enamel range either. Its a bit confuseing.

Yep, I thought it was a mixed color, half of each, but there is no #2 dark green or a 2 dark green. I assumed as you said that the standard RLM would apply. Directions can truly mislead at times. It drives me nuts.

I found MM and Tamiya. I like Vallejo, but not so much for my airbrush, even their Aircolors tend to dry up. Tamiya and MM spray like a dream.

Try the tamiya thinner or retarder in your airbrush with the Vallejo paints.

I have been usinf that combo with my cheapie VEDA airbrush and it works very well.

Let me know if it works for you
