RLM 66, German Grey, is what I used on my Condor 1/48 He-178.  Not likely to be RLM 02 as that was for early war interiors.

I agree with John; however,  this late in the war, who knows without actual photographic evidence...

Chris, the He-178 was on the dividing line for the 02/66 change as it first flew 27 August 1939.  Luckily the RLM was unimpressed.

Even period photos can be deceiving with the colour shifts that they go through over the years. The only safe answer is "darkish grey"
