For the bottom

 

[Wurger]

I see.

 

[prem895]

I see that it is the closest match for RLM76 MM is sold out where I get paint from

 

[Wurger]

Unfortunately the Hu126 isn't the closest much for the RLM76 I'm afraid. The colour was of blue tinge, also of blue-green one. The Hu 126 is just a grey colour.

Have a look at these ...

 

[prem895]

Well can i mix it to get it closer

 

[Wurger]

Yes you can. It is suggested using for the mix either Hu23 or Hu90. Or both of them. Also you can use a mix of Hu64 and some of Hu65.

 

[prem895]

Thanks General

 

[Wurger]

You'r welcome.

 

[prem895]

What are the mix ratios.You guys are teaching me so much

 

[prem895]

Will Hu32 be ok for interior. I painted it Hu163. oops

Here's something that might help: Color Reference Charts -  Germany

What are the mix ratios.You guys are teaching me so much

The mix ratio is a proportion of paints you have to use in order to get a final colour. In other words, it is a clue how much of each colour has to be used. For instance the mix ratio is 1:1. It means that you have to take one drop of one paint and one drop of the another one. in general - 50%/50% . I said "one drop" but of course it isn't enough for painting of all surfaces of a model. It can be used for a pilot's stick of 1/72 scale only.... . But I'm sure you grasped. So for painting of larger areas you need to use more of the mixture. Let's see.... for example... 1cm³ of one paint and 1cm³ of the another one.
If the ratio is 1:2 for instance ... it means that you have to use one drop of one colour and two drops of the another, viz, there it has to be the double amount of the second paint. Have you caught?

As far as the interior colour id concerned.... the Hu32 is said to be an equivalent for RLM74 Graugrun ( FS36118 ) rather. But it is too dark. The interior paint should be RLM66 ( FS36081 ) Schwarzgrau - Humbrol67 or Humbrol79. Here you are comparing of both FS numbers and Humbrol colours. You can notice that the Hu32 and Hu163 are of green tinge while the Hu67 and Hu79 are of grey tonality.

 

[prem895]

Ok, I am going to wait for RML74 to arrive,10days from the UK I would say.I want it to be as correct as I can.

 

[Wurger]

RLM74- but of what manufacturer?

 

[prem895]

Model Master. I ordered basically all the RLM colours exept 76 (out of stock)

 

[Wurger]

Oh I see. But you need the RLM66 for the cockpit interior.

 

[prem895]

Also ordered.I was going to use Hu140, but I will just have to wait

 

[Wurger]

It's OK. then. But if you have the Humbrol67 you can use this enamel. It matches the RLM66 colour.

 

[prem895]

You would think that with all the paint I have I would have this one. But I don't. I hate waiting

 

[Wurger]

Nobody is perfect... But the patience is the basic feature of all modellers. So take your time and draw a deep breath.
