my first question is.
any thoughts to the colour of the fuselage sides would have been ?
the instructions say RLM76 but the box art suggests the primer type colour similar to RAF sky, sometimes called RLM84 or 99 i think.
your thoughts please
Aha, thank you my friend i have been looking for that model build to use as an example but for some reason could not find it this morning !It is quite difficult to say if it was the standard RLM76 or its non standard variants. The box art colours always are a matter of a kind of printing and shouldn't be taken into consideration. Unfortunately these aircraft of the 500000-series show some variance in camouflage schemes, likely reflecting their manufacturing process of assembling various components built by widely dispersed co-operating manufacturers.
Please have a look at this...

i know the box art might not be the best guide but if you look the artist has gone to the trouble to use a definate change in colour between the fuselage and the rudder !!!
and the model maker in the link you provided has used a colour a little like the sky colour i was talking about !
hope so my friendIt's gonna be a nice one Karl.
