awwwwww yeah
first glance, very happy! Nice variety of schemes, unlike the 1/48G boxing I got (6 of the same scheme,but with different letters...BORING!). Plus with the extra clear pieces, I can do some transplanting to the airfix kit.
can you guess which one Im doing?
hint: I LOVE SHARKMOUTHS!!!

yeah, it calls for RLM 72 over 70...Looking at those color chips doesnt make that seem correct. Both those seem too similar?
EDIT: looking at other RLM colors....perhaps they meant RLM82? Much more of a green, and contrasts much better
RLM 82
RLM 70

Honestly, I'd go pure black. I can't locate the pic they are referencing...the a/c was used as part of the air cover for the infamous "Channel Dash" the German Navy conducted in '42...its basically a fight-fighter scheme...

So it would've been the black NF scheme with the green overspray?

Maybe add some black to RLM 70 for topside color with black undersides? Just a thought...
