I have a model I'm make that is a bit unusual. Arado Ar81 V3 So it painted in old Luftwaffe colours. Can anyone tell me what Tamiya colours I should use for the following colours? RLM 61 RLM 62 RLM 63 I would like to get this plane right as it is so different.

These are German WW2 colors. You can find the FS and RAL equivalents here. They did not list the Tamiya colors, only Revell and Humbrol.

The Tamiya color is more limited. Try Humbrol or Model Master (both enamel and acrylic). I have seen the MM colos for RLM on the FSM articles.

Since Tamiya does not have FS numbers you are going to have to eyeball it and mix your own colors until you think it looks about right.
