Colour scheme question?...

[waffenamt]

Gents,
Ive stumbled across a superb model of an SC50 at a museum a few miles from me and got talking to the geezer who made it..Now,he asks me what the correct colour schemes are?
RAL something-or-other?

Anyone know please?

Hi Waff,could it have been RLM GRAU,,,which I think translates into something like,,,,REICHS LUFTFARTS MINISTERUM GREY, German air ministry grey, just a shot in the dark,I hope it is near the mark,
Regards,Don,

Hi Waff,The RLM was the German air ministry and they had various colour for various pieces of equipment and aircraft,coded RLM.....then the code number for the paint colour, RLM Grau sticks in my mind as it was one of the main colours used on the aircraft,to get an idea of the colour look up one of the colour charts for aeromodellers such as Humbrol,I have no idea what colour the German bombs were but you can bet your booits it was RLM ....something or other,
Regards,Don,

All SC50 and SD50 Bombs that I have seem were very dark greeen (a bit darker than Humbrol 91), (most of them were in water and deep in mud, so colors and markings were almost as new. They all were disposed by EOD...
