So that's what those markings are! They've always puzzled me - I just thought they were some crazy captured aircraft markings or something!

That you do. :mrgreen:
RLM81 is one such colour that can anything from olive drab to brown violet to dark green as I'm finding out getting the colours ready. Everything else is fairly clear. RLM82,76 and 66.

I have the same kit but with the G-2/TROP markings, I look forward to seeing how well this one goes together.

Started work early this morning 5am :shock:
Got some colours on with RLM 76 on the underside and bottom of fuselage with fluorescent red on where the yellow is going to go and RLM66 in the cockpit and wheel wells.

Yellow is going on quite well and have given coat of RLM82 to the wings.
The good thing about HB kits is that they generally fit well and can be painted as you go along saving masking for various bits.

More paint and some mottling

Now that is a great idea that I had not thought of. You have made a nice start to your kit.
