Jan, how sure are u on that color Brother???? Heres a shot of the profile I have for her, not very green.....

 

[Lucky13]

I know.... Just went what it says in the E/E sheet, "lightgreen". Looks even lighter in the profiles....maybe more white?

 

[lesofprimus]

Heres the profile u posted at the beginning of ur thread...

 

[lesofprimus]

Its almost like a grey/green, a wierd mix of RLM's maybe???

 

[Lucky13]

Tell me about it....looks completely different in the profile close ups. Have a looksee what I have, or I'll just pick mix.

Gents, in Modelmana no.7 it is said that the kite was painted with RLM76.75,82,83 and 02.Looking at some pics of the RED13 we can see that these spots under number13 were painted with a colour which was slightly darker than the one used for the fuselage and the fin+rudder.So it wasn't RLM76/78/65 rather.In J.Crandall's book these colour profiles show us that it could be RLM02.Looking at the B&W Red13 general view I believe it was the colour.

Cheers Wojtek, much obliged! Just done the "spot" again....pics up in couple of ticks....

 

[Lucky13]

Take two....!

 

[Wurger]

Did you use RLM02 paint?

 

[rochie]

very nice mate

 

[A4K]

Looks great Jan!

 

[Lucky13]

Nope, sorry Wojtek....mixed myself.

Edit: I did, RLM02 is Vallejo 71044. But I had to add some white though...

Thanks again!

Cheers guys!

The RLM02 was of greenish tonality.And an additional question.Why didn't you make these spots with masks (patterns)? You should remember about their correct shape.

 

[Lucky13]

That I did first Wojtek. When I repaired the "damage" later I just followed the contour(?) of the previous layer. A bit of hit and miss with the spots, not having any in scale to work from...just guessing their shape where you could really see them.

 

[Wurger]

I understand.

 

[Catch22]

Looks great Jan!

 

[Lucky13]

Funny they didn't add them as decals...

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers Cory, appreciated!

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff Jan!

RLM02 is the most likely colour.....But it is possible that a green was used....?

 

[Wurger]

Hum... green...possible but which one? RLM02 is also of green tonality.
