Late Luftwaffe Paint St

Standard camouflage colours of Luftwaffe planes from 1944 till 1945.

1944 was the year of introduction of several new camouflage colours for all Luftwaffe aircraft. RLM 83 introduced in the first half of 1944 was most probably a replacement of RLM 74 in previous 74/75/76 scheme, as simplified 75/76 pattern proved not effective for ground concealment from air attacks.

RLM 81/82/76 (with lower surfaces left in bare metal where possible) became an official pattern from August 1944. At least till end of the year RLM 83 (due to austerity reasons finally not included in the official scheme) was still widely used for mottling over other colours. In order to use up the current stocks of formerly used paints, basic schemes applied in real life included RLM 75/81/76, 75/82/76, 75/83/76, 82/83/76 and 81/83/76.

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
