Tony...look again...i altered the numbers whilst you posted sorry. For some reason i gave the paints for RLM 65 instead of 76

**Guest** · 17 October 2010, 16:48

More confused now XF-53 is Neutral Grey and not Light Blue.

I know. What model is it for? That might make it easier

**Guest** · 17 October 2010, 17:07

If its the under belly could it be Tamiya XF-23

**Guest** · 17 October 2010, 17:58

Under belly and sides too so most of the aircraft.

I'd go with RLM 65 then (i'm sure Steve will know for sure) Vallejo 71008 / Humbrol 65 and Tamiya XF-23

**Guest** · 17 October 2010, 18:06

Will have a look at the other ones I have and see if the paint ties in with the info you given me.

Isn't the E-3 what Graham built the other month?
