Hi all.
I have a question I hope somebody can shed some light on. I am busy with two JG300 aircraft-a FW190 and a BF109G-10, both of which have the "brick red" reich defence band around the fuselage. All the research I have tells me that this band was "RLM 23", which is an orangey-red colour. But all the decals-like the aircraft numbers (I'm doing red 2 and red 19) are a much deeper, brighter red. Were there two shades or red the Luftwaffe used? One for the reich defence band and a different one for the numbers?
Please help!
Thanks! vh
