Norm 72 Paint Selection

[Spectre711]

Trying to figure out what FS or RLM paint will match or be very close to the RAL colors used on the German NORM 72 Phantoms.

I think RAL 6014 matches with RLM 80 or FS 34083. RAL 7012 matches up with RLM 75. RAL 7001 matches up with FS 36152.

Can anybody confirm this?

Been using Testor Model Master enamels since they came out because of availability but would try something else if I get the right colors.

Good evening:

Norm 72: http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/schemes/n72_e.htm

Hope this helps.

Phantoms were RAL 9006 "Weißaluminium" on the underside.

Then the button next to the colour swab marked 'seach similar colours'

Anything from RAL to RLM?

Here you go: http://www.rlm.at/download/rlmpdf.pdf

Mind you that RLM means Reichsluftfahrtministerium (the Reichs air-ministry).

I somehow doubt German Phantoms flew around in 1972 painted to those standards.

Thanks,

I was thinking that Testors Model Master paints are available in RLM colors and that I might be able to match them to the RAL colors.

Now I'm not so sure.

FS 34079 in my eyes is very close to RAL 6014. I'm not so sure about the gray though.

What brands and colors have you guys used in the past?

It's links galore this one !

This should answer all your questions (well, about paint anyway) : http://downloads.hobbico.com/misc/rmx/TES_...Match_Guide.pdf

That chart has RAL 6014 matching with the RLM 80 and RAL 7012 matching up with Testors Model Masters FS36081 Euro I Gray. I'm going to try and pick some up tomorrow and see if I like the way they look.

Thanks!

I'm going to keep a copy of those charts here on the computer.
