Great info. The paints that are ordered are just 'color' fillers, not intended for any particular build. I was getting tired of trying to stretch my current stash to meet some of the off-color requirements for some minor details. Turns out I have a 'close' Green coming in, should have ordered the next lighter shade as well, it seemed closer. But that is what white is for.At the end of the war there was a shortage of many items in the Drittes Reich. So some of colours could have been of non-standard colour palette. These could be obtained by mixing other paints. So not all of them could be on the RLM list, especially the ministry didn't work as it should be at that time. In the particular case, the green is for the JG 27 marking of the Reichverteidigung ( RVD- Defence of the Reich ) band. It wasn't applied in the factory but in the squadron by the maintenece crew rather. Secondly the kite is known from pictures of the derelict plane found in Prague 1945. So the working out of the tone may be not too accurate. A couple of the net sources says that it was the RLM 25 Green colour though. Also the Green-Blue paint is a kind of assumption. There was in the past so-called non-standard RLM 76 ( Ersatz 76 ) or RLM 99 Hellgelbgrun. The paint was identified as a coat of couple tones (FS34432, FS34554, FS34583, FS34672) sometimes similar to the British Sky colour . But it is quite difficult to say if it was true. You may find the kite profile renditions with both the standard RLM76 Lichtblau and Ersatz 76 tones.

Some of info you may find here .... Hasegawa 1/48 Bf 109K-4
Of course! One of the few RLMs I don't have.....The RLM did have a green....
Several paint companies have it on their list of colours but don't know how accurate they are
I'm impressed young SkywalkerNeeded more paint, soooo I just had to add something; in the mail. Since it seems 'everyone else' (well some) have gotten one I felt the need. Perhaps a sub-GB of just this kit would be in order?

Looking at the build options I am puzzled on some of the color call outs? There are RLMs noted along with the Mr. Hobby colors with the exception of a couple. One they call Green Blue (H74-C26) another just Green (H319-C319). Being on a Luftwaffe craft was there not an RLM color assigned to these? Or am I going to have to buy some more paint!!! I don't have much room left on my stash shelf!!
