German RLM, RAL paint question..


Recommended Posts

I am wondering if there is any color difference between...

Panzer Schwarzgrau RAL 7021
and
Schwarzgrau RLM 66

My Panzer 2  decal instructions say to use RAL 7021, but it looks the same as RLM 66.

Are these colors the same or close? Would RLM 66 be a close substitute to use?

Thanks.

Found this para...........

 

In November 1941 the L.Dv. 521/1 was revisited, although it was still marked as Ausgabe 1938 (= edition 1938). The L.Dv. 521/1 (1941) contained three new colours: RLM 74,75 and 76. RLM 61, 62 and 63 were no longer used for aircraft and done away with. Strangely RLM 02 and RLM 66 were changed. RLM 66 was changed from RAL 7019 to RAL 7021. RLM 02 was made more intense and darker.
RLM 78 and 79 were not ready at the time of printing and were attached by loose paint chips stuck to a blank page in the manual.

Whether that para about the no. changing is correct, I don't know, but the link to the thread above would seem it is indeed the same.
