Italeri SM.79 Question.

You probably want 'anti-corrosion green' if Humbrol carries that color. The ltalians had at least three variants--they are all more or less in the same category as British interior gray-green or RLM 02, though one is much lighter and doesn't have a gray cast at all, and another 'verdi prato anticorrsione,' is closer to RLM 82. I'm just eyeballing the colors, not referring to any FS tables or such.

Thanks for that but when you say RLM 82 would that be the dark green or the bright green as I seam to recall a bit of controversy over the designation and description of RLM 82 and RLM 83?.

Eather way is good as I have both those colours kicking obout somewhere.

It is a pale apple green called "Verde Anticorrosione". Use 90% of Humbrol #23 (Duck Egg Blue), corrected with a 10% of #30 (Matt Dark Green). Misterkit (as MKAC001) and Lifecolor (as UA116) now offer ready-to-use choices. Consider

Hello, I have used Humbrol 78 a light green. For the mottled camouflage I use 105 for the olive green, 113 dark brown, 94 for the sand and 64 for the grey. I have had some problems with the parts 27 and 28 because I don't follow the indication, I have tried to assemble them together before attaching them to the fuselage it doesn't work. Best regards

The brighter green is what I was thinking of for RLM 82.

SM.79 interior color was the same light grey blue as the bottom of the aircraft. The anti-corrisivo green was used on fighters.

Hello Ken. This is partially true. At least on the SM.79 the green was used in the cockpit structural frame
