Historical Usage of RLM66 Color

The RLM66 Black-Grey shade is a historic color used in German aviation – Luftwaffe. The paint was widely used as the default cockpit interior color in German military aircraft, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, Heinkel He 111, and Junkers Ju 88. The color appeared from the middle of World War II, around 1941, and was used until the end of the conflict. Choosing the proper RLM66 paint ensures a realistic reproduction of interiors and details in World War II era models.

Product Review

I especially recommend Hataka B040 Black-Grey (RLM66) to intermediate and advanced modelers who expect historical color accuracy and precision. I rate the usage difficulty at 2/5 – the paint is easy to apply and excellent for brushwork, but for best results requires some experience with water-based acrylics. Beginners will also be satisfied thanks to the simple application and high-quality finish. This is an ideal choice for faithfully replicating the interiors of German World War II aircraft models.
