What are the RLM colors used on the FW189 shown below?

Thanks for moving my question to the proper spot.

Without seeing a picture of the actual aircraft and assuming the skin designer had an actual reference, I would guess standard 70/71 splinters on top broken up with patches of 76. Obviously the bottom would be the standard 65 oversprayed with black 22.

Went through 7 Fw 189 books.....no pics

Here's where I found some Fw 189 photos:

Also haven't found any shot of the plane so far. However, both TBiU booklets no.155 and 191 one for the plane show her profiles with the RLM 74/75 on tops.

The skin looks like the same colors as the profile, it just doesn't have the "F" on the tail boom. But I agree, no photos of that particular ship.

That may be the colors I'm looking for, but my peek at RLM 74 and 75 "chips" show less contrast between the two than the lighter and darker areas on the airplane profile. I know there's lots of variation.

The profile you posted above seems to be a scan from either Osprey or Squadron/Signal book. Unfortunately these aren't of a great accuracy of both colour hue and camo layout. Also it is possible the lighter colour might be the RLM 76.

Thanks to all for looking. I like planning my models having more "eclectic" color shemes. It's fun.

Not in Ken Merrick's book? I don't have the Jaroslaw Wrobel's "Camouflage and Markings, Luftwaffe 1933-45," with the Fw189 night reconnaissance. Fourth edition. (think this one had night fighters/recon). I agree with RLM 22 on bottom. Maybe a mix of RLM 74 and 75 on top?

Will need to look through my references.
