first glance, very happy! Nice variety of schemes, unlike the 1/48G boxing I got (6 of the same scheme,but with different letters...BORING!). Plus with the extra clear pieces, I can do some transplanting to the airfix kit.

yeah, it calls for RLM 72 over 70...Looking at those color chips doesnt make that seem correct. Both those seem too similar?


EDIT: looking at other RLM colors....perhaps they meant RLM82? Much more of a green, and contrasts much better

Honestly, I'd go pure black. I can't locate the pic they are referencing...the a/c was used as part of the air cover for the infamous "Channel Dash" the German Navy conducted in '42...its basically a fight-fighter scheme...

So it would've been the black NF scheme with the green overspray?

Maybe add some black to RLM 70 for topside color with black undersides? Just a thought...
