    Heinkel Heli III H-6

    I am intending to buy this kit for the MTO build. Does anyone know what paint colors I would need?



    From looking at the picture I am guessing a black green / dark green and a form of sky...

    Sounds about right Mag, depending on the aircraft you want to build. Best to go by a colour profile or (preferably) photos if you can though, rather than trust Italeri's box art...

    That color scheme is likely RLM 70/71 over 65 as in this shot:



    Another alternative would be RLM 79 ( Sand Brown) over RLM 78 (Blue)



    or you can go with a mottle of RLM 80 over the RLM 79

    According to the kit manual the camo scheme for the bomber seen in the art on the top box consists of Model Master 1728 - Light Ghost Grey - FS36375, Model Master 1591 Olive Green - RAL 6003, Model MAster 1764 - Europe Dark Green - FS34092.

    The He111H-6 of KG26 used over The North Sea 1941/1942.

    I haven't bought the kit yet.. I was asking the paints so if I didnt have one I could order it with the kit and not double pay damn shipping charges. Just planning and getting everything square before I order. I can wait
