[Tuomas]

Very nice indeed! Could you tell what colors you have used in this?

 

[JKim]

Tuomas... you can always read Steph's build thread:
**** DONE: 1/48 Fw190D-9 - Allied Advance and Defense of the Reich WWII.

This is a group build where we share the building of model kits per a particular theme. As the models are completed, a separate FINISHED thread is posted to show the final photos of the complete kit.

I read the build thread, and I only found some interesting discussion about colours, not the colours used in build.. I tried to check again, but no result. Perhaps build thread would be better place to ask such questions. Sorry, I didn't know the etiquette.

Hello all,
I come back after a problem with my PC (hard disk failed !!!)
Tuomas, I used Humbrol and Mr Hobby colors: the "wrong" RLM83 (which should be RLM81) is Humbrol 253 with some Humbrol 91.
The RLM82 is Humbrol 252 and Humbrol 2. The RLM81 on the rear fuselage extension is Humbrol 251. The RLM76 is Mr Hobby H417.

 

[Tuomas]

Thanks! To my eye your RLM83 seems close enough like RLM81 (at least if there wouldn't be another RLM81 color). And I really liked your RLM82 green! I have problem with RLM82 that all brands that I have used RLM82 colors are too dark or brown or something to my eyes and I haven't found any good color for that. XF-5 was nice looking to my eye, but under some weathering it was still too close to RLM81 (Model air and Lifecolor brands).
