Mr Color RLM 81 is not even close. RLM 83 is to dark. RLM 76 to blue = pretty much RLM 65. 74,75 are ok, Haven't seen 82. I believe that Mr Colors are LACQUERS. They require different thinners than TAMIYA ACRILICS. The same goes for AK Real Colors series, all Lacquer paints. You have to use Mr.Color Leveling Thinner 400, or just Thinner 400.

I did those perfectly RLM 02 and RLM 81: RLM 02 Gray XF 22 50% + XF55 50% RLM 81 Brown Violet XF 64 83% + XF 3 17% Most of the modelers get those wrong, even museums do like Flying Heritage in Everett WA. I had three people compare my mixes to color chart from "Luftwaffe Painting Guide" color chart by Smith, Pentland & Lutz Also RLM 82 is dark green and RLM 83 is light green, not vice versa. Late war cammo was LOW CONTRAST 81/82 and 76 on the bottom.

Ed has good mixes. I would simplify them further. RLM 74 XF 24 80% + XF 67 20% RLM 75 XF54 RLM 76 XF 23 50% + XF 55 50% RLM 65 XF 23 RLM 82 XF61 70% + XF 13 30%
