About product

The Color

RLM 74 is a dark gray with a green cast. It belongs to the later German scheme, in which the upper surfaces were covered by a pair of gray shades while the undersides stayed very light. In this pair, RLM 74 is the darker component; its counterpart carries the number 75. The shade suits any spot where gray areas, rather than the earlier green tones, appear above the wing.

Where It Is Used

On the upper surfaces of wings, fuselage and tail surfaces, and on the mottling sprayed onto the sides of the fuselage and the vertical tail surface. It is exactly this mottling that gives late German aircraft their character, and since it varied from machine to machine, it is worth keeping photos of the specific aircraft on hand. The paint also serves for retouching sanded spots and newly glued parts.

Painting Tips

  • Mix the paint thoroughly before use, since the pigment settles to the bottom of the bottle.
  • For the mottling, thin the paint more, spray from a short distance with a low flow rate.
  • Test the mottling's size on a piece of plastic first, not directly on the model.
  • Guide the transition on the upper surfaces per the reference drawing; late schemes tend to have a soft edge.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for thinning and tool cleaning.

Terms of Supply

The paint is supplied in a 17 ml volume. Do not pour leftover paint from the mixing tray back into the bottle, to keep contaminants out. Thinner, primer, varnish and tools are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for thinning, tool cleaning and storage. Work in a well-ventilated room and keep the bottle carefully closed, out of the reach of children.

FAQ

On the upper surfaces of the wings, fuselage and tail surfaces of later German fighters, and on the mottling sprayed onto the sides of the fuselage.

It pairs with the slightly lighter RLM 75 on the upper surfaces. The undersides for this scheme are usually noticeably lighter.

Thin the paint more, spray it with a low flow rate from a short distance, and test the mottling's size on scrap plastic first.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for thinning and tool cleaning, and use the thinner recommended for this range.
