                        Since I've been away from the hobby for almost ten years Ashamed [*^_^*] I've sort of lost track of certain terms. Question [?] I'm building a Hasegawa Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 and the painting key lists paints such as RLM Dark Green 71 and IJA Green. What does RLM and IJA stand for? Are they like FS numbers?

                        RLM is a reference to the Luftwaffe official colors, sorta like the International FS # scheme. IJA stands for Imperial Japanese Army, again a common color reference. You'll find some model paint Cos., ModelMaster for instance, use these titles on their bottle labels, while others do not.
