RLM 76 Version 2 is an acrylic modeling paint from the 3rd Generation line, the AIR sub-line, by AK interactive. It reproduces the second variant of the light blue-gray RLM 76 from the undersides of German aircraft - it is a paint, not a kit.

RLM 76 Version 2 is a water-thinnable acrylic from the AIR aircraft sub-line of the 3rd Generation acrylic line by AK interactive. The bottle (17 ml) is intended for brush and airbrush alike, and once dry the surface is matte and durable. Note: this is a modeling paint, not a kit - no model is included in the package.
RLM 76 Lichtblau is the light blue-gray of the undersides of German aircraft. It comes in from 1941 and stays to the end of the war - you find it on the undersides of wings, fuselage and tail surfaces, and on later machines it was carried high up the sides of the fuselage, where it formed the base for mottling in darker shades. It is one of the most used colors for Luftwaffe modelers.
RLM 76 was not one unchanging color. There were several officially approved formulations and paint makers mixed them according to the raw materials they happened to have. On top of that came the wartime economy: late substitute formulations, variation between batches and differences between individual factories. The result is that RLM 76 on period machines ranges from a cool light blue-gray to tones that go markedly toward gray or green - and all of them were RLM 76.
The manufacturer therefore does not carry RLM 76 as a single shade but offers several variants: the base shade, this Version 2 and a separate late-war variation. Version 2 is therefore not an improved or corrected version of the old paint - it is a second period variant of the same shade, existing alongside the first. Which one you choose depends on the particular machine, factory and period you are building; the guide is period photographs and color profiles, not a match of numbers.
For modelers of German aircraft of the Second World War, especially for builders of later machines, where RLM 76 covers a large part of the surface. Also suitable for those who want to tell machines from different factories and periods apart by variants of the shade.
The paint is a water-thinnable acrylic with a low odor. Work in a ventilated room and use extraction and respiratory protection when spraying with an airbrush. Keep out of the reach of children. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
