skysoldier46 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I've been working on a series of Bf110's and other than what the exterior colors are (I have most ALL books on Luftwaffe colors and camoflage), I need help with the color of the inside of the fuselage and wheel wells and engine compartment. Anyone know if the color Green Zinc Chromate is a close approximation? Thanks for any help. Jim
ghodges Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 ABSOLUTELY NOT! Zinc chromate is an American primer. The interior of your German stuff is either RLM66 (a very dark gray); or RLM02, which is a lighter greeninsh-gray. Both of those colors are available from a lot of paint makers. For the Bf-110, the wheel wells are more than likely RLM02. The cockpit is probably also 02. You can get away with a lot in modeling, but zinc chromate green or yellow in a German plane is NOT "in the ballpark" so to speak... Hope this helps! GIL
skysoldier46 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I figured as much but this revell kit I'm working on says, to paint that interior on the wheel wells Light olive green! I knew better but wanted to be sure. Thanks again.
