Can't figure out the correct RLM color codes
Posted by StingLikeABee on Friday, April 21, 2017 4:51 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out the colors on this fw 190 camo. I'm slightly color blind, so I couldn't find the right ones. What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

Hard to be exact because i am not sure if the guys who did that would be useing exac RLM colours. But at a guess i would say RLM 81 (brown version not the green) with 83 mottling.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I would still go with those colours. It looks more like a scheme used in the Med but with darker colours.

No, you're right, it is brown and green. Someone else also said it might be rlm 81 with 83 mottling. It does look like it.

I'm currently building bf 109 e7 trop, which is rlm 79 and 80. the fw 190 in the link is definitely not that color scheme. also the yellow fuselage band shows that it is eastern front. The problem is I never saw any brown in eastern front camos. but it does look like it is rlm 83 over 81
