| Hi, According to info I found in one book about Luftwaffe colours,up to November 1941 when the instruction L.Div 521 determined directly and accurately colours of cockpit interior and other parts af an a/c,the interior paints depended on elements and materials that they were made of.For instance: before 1937 the interior of an engine cowling had the galvanized metal tonality, later it was painted with RLM 02 colour.What is more,looking from an engine direction,the fire cross-section wasn't painted at all,but from the cockpit side the fire partition was coloured with grey-green RLM 02.If I find something else I'll write there. regards,

 |  Captured USAAF aircraft in Luftwaffe I do remember seeing a web site or two that dealt with Captured USAAF aircraft that were r"re-flagged" in Luftwaffe markings. Was a P-40 ever captured by the Luftwaffe? And, is there a website that has pictures of such an aircraft?  |

| Inspection and warning placards Great forum! Can anyone direct me to information on inspection and warning placards? The triangular labels that were painted on various parts of Luftwaffe aircraft. Looking for descriptions or photos of the various types and placement. I'm particulalry interested in labels for the Ju87, but any similar Luft labels would do. Thanks. |

| Quick list of RLM colors. RLM Colors A challenging aspect of modeling late-war Luftwaffe aircraft such as the Me 262 is rendering the color scheme. The following list provides most of the RLM colors which were used on Luftwaffe aircraft and a FS 595a equivalent. Please keep in mind that limitations of the FS color system preclude an exact match in all cases and should be considered approximations. RLM # Namen Name FS 595a equivalent 02 Grau (gray) FS 36165 04 Gelb (yellow) FS 23538 21 Weiss (white) FS 37886 22 Schwarz (black) FS 37038 23 Rot (red) FS 31136 24 Dunkelblau (dark blue) FS 25053 25 Hellgrun (bright green) FS 34115 26 Braun (brown) FS 30109 27 Gelb (yellow) FS 33655 65 Hellblau (bright blue) FS 35414 66 Schwarzgrau (black-gray) FS 36081 70 Schwarzgrun (black-green) FS 34050 71 Dunkelgrun (dark green) FS 34079 72 Graun (green) FS 34056 73 Grun (green) FS 34092 74 Graugrun (gray-green) FS 36801 75 Grauviolett (gray-violet) FS 36122 76 Lichtblau (light blue) FS 36473 77 Lichtgrau (light gray) FS 36492 78 Hellblau (bright blue) FS 35414 79 Sandgelb (sand yellow) FS 30215 80 Olivgrun (olive-green FS 34052 81 Braunviolett (brown-violet) FS 34087 82 Hellgrun (bright green) FS 34138 83 Dunkelgrun (dark green) FS 34083 99 Gelbgrun (yellow-green) FS 34227

| I always wondered why the LW had so many camo patterns while the allies had a only basic Desert, Atlanic, and the OD over gray? DBII |
