Desert collours 65,79,80?

[Guest]

Hi all. Can someone please confirm that RLM 79 (Humbrol118) over 65 (hu 65) with 80 mottle (hu 116) was correct for North African German planes?

I have also read that the 65 could have been 78, does this sound right, I necer saw a "grey" on the desert planes.

Thanx

Underside should be RLM78 which is a light blue colour,paler than RLM65. You've got the other two RLM numbers correct. I can't vouch for the Humbrol equivalents as I don't use them now.

Cheers
