Hello Raven and Happy New Year!!!!!!!

I'm glad you like it. The detail on the control surfaces are made by Krusty. Most of the hard part is made by him.

Thx Krusty.

81 was spec'd as upper surface camo for 262, 190,335, he111

I wish I had a picture, a werk number or something that I could use to make my own decision on the colors. I've been looking for more stuff on this plane on few bulletin boards but not much came up. I know there is a photo in a French book but is made in 1981 and I couldn't find it.

I found profiles and decals in both two tone grey and green/brown camo.
I have a beautiful skin made by Rafiger for Pacific Fighters in grey also.

Anyway I'm still digging. Something may come up.

Thx Chimpy:)

I know well Simmer's Paintshop. I checked the colors there, they match exactly what I use here. I'm just not sure exactly what was used on this particular aircraft. If I finish it, I think I'll send them both and let them decide.

The RLM color plates over at Simmers Paintshop contain some real errors in hue / tone as well as general interpretation.

Your colors look fine to me. There's plenty of variation and room for interpretation. My previous post was more in reply to the claim of 'Historic Colors' over at Simmers Paintshop.

Got t the proof. Is two tone grey.

This should be the right look.

I am almost positive the image I saw the colors were 76/75/74. The tail wasn't shown so I can't help you with the werk-number...

JAWS2003 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 02, 2006, 09:07:57 PM »

I think it's done.

If you see anything that needs to be fixed pls let me know.
I would like to thank you all for help.
