Historic use of the RLM83 color

The RLM83 designation refers to an authentic color used by the Luftwaffe – the German Air Force during World War II. The Dark Green (RLM83) shade was primarily applied to later versions of combat aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9. This distinctive dark green camouflage appeared on both fighter and bomber aircraft, mainly during the final years of the conflict (1944-1945), in order to improve concealment capabilities in the conditions of the European theater of war.
