Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Shemes. Yes, schemes. Do you have a favourite? RLM, IJN, RAF etc? I do like RLM colours. Also Japanese and Italian schemes. So, basically colours of the Axis powers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I model only WW2 Axis types so far as Aircraft go, so those you've mentioned are right up my alley. I take particular interest in the intricacies and subtle differences between Manufacturers and Werk Nummer runs of especially late war Fw-190 and Bf-109's. Some will tell you "they're all the same boring grey", but this is part of my enthusiasm for those particular types. Also quite fond of the camouflage and colours of the WW2 Italian aircraft.

sluggo Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 RLM for me. My previous model room had chair rail on the walls so I painted it RLM 79 above and RLM 78 below. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Tiger Meet schemes for me. There's so many variations that the individual squadrons have done over the years. Hi vis, low vis, peeling/bursting out of the standard camo, cyborg. You name it. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Swedish splinter schemes for me. Another reason I'd sell my soul for a 1/32 Viggen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I like RLM 74/75/76 and Italian the most. Too bad that most Italian planes either don't exist as acceptable models or are just plain fugly. I dig USAAF NMF and Japanese NMF schemes, too. OD is not for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Civilian, with lots of red, yellow, blue, white ... At worst, NMF or silver lacquer with yellow wings ... Now that is REAL taste Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 British Razzle-Dazzle schemes to me, be it on an airframe or on a ship. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 By the way, the most unappealing single Colour to me is RLM-66, I guess it's the main reason the Germans experimented with ejection seats, to prevent pilots from depression. The most -hmm- interesting Colour is Russian cockpit turquoise. Clearly LSD was involved when they mixed it first. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don’t really have a favorite, as I tend to do a different scheme every build. I guess if it’s a theme, I like heavily chipped and weathered finishes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
