I have a friend who is trying to gather info one one particular BF-109; see link:

He is trying to paint this guy but wants to know what the color values are. Is the underside supposed to be light blue, or is it gray? If you have a site that might have this particular info, can you forward it this way?

Thanks!

Here is everything you need to know:

You'll note that he can't say if it's grey or blue either!

As to the colours, are you painting as in a model, or painting as in SDoE? For the former any good hobby shop will sell good quality paints in the original RLM colours. For the latter the only two sources I have seen that I trust are:
http://www.jpsmodell.de/shop/jpsrlm.htm#rlm02 http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/7404/colors.htm

However if you open both pages side-by-side you'll notice they are rather different from each other. Check RLM 04 for instance. This might be something we should do at some point, sit down and decide what colours to use for the various RLM paints. Jay did some amazing work on the Hs 129, I'll see about posting it somewhere.

I wasn't sure if you had other sources that might be able to pin down the gray/blue question.

Hell, I'll just tell my buddy to paint the whole derned thing in shades of gray and be dome with it! hehe!

Thanks for the quick response and I'll pass on the links!
