The light green shade of late German aircraft camouflage carrying the number 82. A water-based acrylic paint, ready for the airbrush.
Responsibility details are not available.
From 1944 a pair of greens replaced the older dark combinations on German fighters, and the lighter of the two carries the number 82. It appears on the spines of late Messerschmitt versions and on Focke-Wulf machines with a radial engine, usually in sharply bounded fields, at other times in roughly sprayed bands across the whole wing.
The shade gives a markedly warmer impression than the earlier gray-blue finishes, and in small scales it pays to lighten it a little further so that the model does not look needlessly dark. Paired with the darker green it forms a pattern whose exact shape differed from factory to factory, and on machines from the last months of the war even from one airframe to the next.
You will create a hard edge to a field with masking tape pressed down along its whole length, and a soft one with a rolled strand of modeling putty laid loosely on the surface. Both match period photographs, so it is no mistake to choose according to the particular machine you are building.
Before you remove the tape, give the paint at least an hour to become tacky, otherwise the adhesive will tear off the coat underneath as well and the repair will take more time than the whole masking job. Peel the tape slowly and at a sharp angle toward yourself so that the edge does not lift with the paint. Slight creeping under the mask can be saved by a scrape with a knife edge held perpendicular to the surface.
