RLM TAMIYA

RLM WITH TAMIYA ACRYLIC COLOURS

By: Silvio Sosa

After I have worked during a certain time with the mentioned acrylic paints, I was decided to try to reproduce some colors of the Luftwaffe (RLM), mixing the colors of this brand. I must say that in most of the cases, the experience was of test and error, until obtaining the maximum similarity to the color that I wanted to imitate. And I say SIMILAR or NEAR, since it is little probable that somebody says with authority, overall in the RLM, was is the exact color or was brand is it. Well it is known that the differences even between the German aircraft factories of WW2, existed. This prologue is simply for introducing us in this theme, which is opening to all the opinions, that would be welcome. Now we go directly to the different mixtures

In the first place it wanted that this work was taken like a guide only, desire that draws their own conclusions. That person has to add something will be welcome, because is my interests sharing that one knows that to keep it.
