 | Luftwaffe paint. Next week I have a tiny open space for time to go to the hobby shop, was curious what paints are used for a Stuka and a Do-217? (Bought both today for 7 dollars with shipping, +1 for Harrison!) Colors for a bird like so. (Stuka won't have cannons, just there to see what color...) |

| According to the Monogram guide (page 105), the standard factory camo for the Do217 E-1 thru E-3, E-4 and E-5 was RLM 72/73 over 65. The K and M series also used the same camo pattern. This was primarily a maritime scheme so the 70/71 scheme was also employed. The Do-17 and Ju 87-A used a pre-war scheme of RLM 61/62/63 over 65. Starting with the B version, the Ju-87 used a RLM 70/71 over 65 scheme for most European theatres with a RLM 79/80 over 78 scheme for the Mediterranean.

| B17, you should be able to buy paints exactly as spelled out above. Several paint manufacturers make the RLM colours and you can get them by name. |

  | H, there is a pretty good book out there called "Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings 1933-1945" and it's a pretty god source of info.

Like Les said, Model Masters has a large selection of RLM colors. I use them and also the Poly Scale which also has the RLM line of colors. That is your second JU 87 isn't it? I know you said yours didn't have the cannons but damn if it don't look hot as hell with them.

| Thanks Dave! I"ll look out for it! Dirk, yes I got a second Ju-87 and Do-217 in a lot on Ebay for 7 dollars (with shipping) both complete kits. And I will look to see if the shop has Model Masters, if not I'll just get whatever they have. |

| For a beginner. I think enamels are the way to go for u H... Hopefully they carry them.... If not, there are many sites on the net that sell them, usually cheaper online than ur LHS.....

| Yes, most of the time that's what happens, but right now I am in need of more sandpaper and I'd rather just go to the shop and buy it. Next Saturday is the day! |
