Mikeew Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi All, Just embarking on the Revell 1/48 repop of the ancient Esci 1/48 Hs123 kit. I have the Extratech brass cockpit asembled, just need some clarification on colours for the interior. I will be going OOB for decals with a Spanish AF machine in overall light grey. Would I be right in assuming the interior to be RLM02 or the equivalent? the kit instructions say its Light Olive (Revell paint ref #45) which seems too "green" to me, but thought some one here might have a more definitive answer?. TIA, Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
model_citizen Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 RLM 02 would be correct for the interior if the plane was in German markings. I would assume it would be the same for Condor legion. I could be wrong though. Anybody else have an idea? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 LW planes almost never had green ("olive") interiors. I'd go with your gut and do RLM02 (equivelant). I know there's a Lt Ghost Grey, Ghost Grey, or Dk Ghost Grey that almost matches it, but I can't recall which one it is right now. Remember: it was made in Germany and sent to Spain. It'd be standard RLM (I think). Spain might repaint the outside, but why would they ever repaint the inside? P.S. That looks like a very complex PE set! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydog Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i assembled the original kit, but my pit was resin. anyway, i painted mine RLM02 as my instuctions instructed. light ghost grey is pretty close. if look below my signature, click on FINISHED BUILDS and go to the 123 album. i have more cockpit photos in a CD if you want me to upload them for you. i took them before i assembled the fuselage halves. also, get ready to sand the heck out of that cowling friend, it don't go together very well. you can see the ugly seem on my build. later.

Mikeew Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Many thanks for all the responses guys,i knew some people on here would be able to help. I have both WEM and Xtracolor RLM02, so I'll go with that. Mark.M - Its a very complex PE set, very comrehensive though too. To be honest this is the first time I've built a complete PE cockpit and actually used all the bits on the PE fret successfully! :o Saltydog - Your Hs123 looks good <_< , thanks for the heads up on the cowling, I'll watch out for that.
