    Hi,
    I don't know if this will help, but here following is a page from a booklet issued by the famous Luftwaffe expert, Jean-Claude Mermet

    serious if possible FS references closer together as they say each gives a different reference.

    There are no exact FS numbers for RLM colours so different authors will adopt different approximations.

    that is the question and how I can have a fruitful conversation with you on the subject until I decided I view more colors had always painted with the referral is an comparative obtube qeu different manufacturers until you've been mrando to compare my comparison is that give me a few colors that are virtually identical whether changes from 20 to 30 in the fs cambinacion want to see how you think and see if I can draw a conclusion

    Bv-222 Wiking flying boats weren't painted with RLM74/75, I'm afraid. As memo serves these colours were RLM70/71 on tops and sides and the RLM65 on undersides With the C variant the new set of colours was introduced and then these were painted with RLM72/73 on tops and sides and the RLM65 on bottom surfaces.

    If you are interesting in FS numbers :

    RLM70 - FS34050 or FS34052
    RLM71 - FS34083 or FS34079
    RLM72 - FS34056
    RLM73 - FS34092

    RLM65 - FS35352 or FS35414

    first rectify thing I looked at the instructions and it is certain the plane is RLM 72/73.
    According to some authors would not be such RLM72/73 colors would be:
    RLM 72 is FS 36081 and the RLM 73 is FS34064
    may be wrong but according to Humbrol and equivalency tables themselves the RLM 72 is the 116 which is FS34092 and RLM73 is 30 which is FS34056 and if they seem, the question is such as to vallejo model series, the RLM 73 the number FS34079 Humbrol HU7, which is far from resembling.
    in the series of paintings Gunze (the Quie more I like and most used) the RLM 73 has no reference as such but that would be the H309 which is the same as said Vallejo, would be the RLM 72 H302 by FS34092

    Unfortunately the FS36081 can't be the RLM72 as ite FS number indicates series of grey colours. I have checked a few books for the Viking flying boat and haven't noticed any of them wearing a such camo scheme. The grey colour would be easy noticable being applied with the Green RLM73. Samples below.... What is more my sources say that both RLM72 and RLM73 were green colours what indicates the FS numbers of 34xxx series.
    Please give me some time I have to check something additionally.

    According to my another source these RLM72/73 colours were "naval" equivalents of "overland" RLM70/71 paints. Both were green ones. The RLM72 was equivalent of RLM70 and the RLM73 was for the RLM71 one.
    The source suggests FS34058 number for the RLM72. So it is very close to FS34056 suggested by Urban's Colour Reference Chart at the IPMS Stockholm site. The RLM73 is of FS34159 number according to my source. It's close to the FS34092 suggested by Urban's chart. However it seems to be better for RLM62. But the FS number is also for the US paint called Green Blue (A54 M). The FS34092 is called Green (A16 M) Both samples below...

    FS34092 -

    FS34159 -
