BOO has just uploaded RLM Colour Swatch (https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/Downloads.php?do=download&downloadid=185)!

This is a compile of the chart found here : http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/luftwaffe/colors.html

It will fit on a 2048 x 2048 plate as a layer making it easy to sample from if you cant be ar5sed with palletes within your chosen program.

Since its just a image ripped from the internet I make no claim the colours are 100% accurate to the books but they are a good starting point for skinning and experimenting since they shown swatches from a number of refe

Nice! Much better than the scanned, acid-baked swatches that have been sitting for 50 years in someone's hobby cave.

For my model planes I have all of these strange concoctions for everything (I have a couple of RLM tamiya mixes that have 3+ values thrown in).

It's sort of like Stormtrooper body armor discussion on the internet. There's a religious following, with massive genealogical trees explaining which helmet mold came from which. hehe

Hope its useful Zeb! I like the differnet variants - makes 3 toning a wethered scheme quicker. I tend to go with either the Hellenic Modellers or IPMS Stockholm for what i feel is a good representantiobn of RLM colous and Gunze paints as a base.

Never painted a SW Stormtrooper - it a bridge too far!
