RLM 72/73 Help

[thepureness]

i'm building the revell 1/32 arado 196 and come to spraying the paint and i'm a little, well lets say confussed. going through images and photos of completed models the kits comeplete they seem to be of the 2 tone dark green/black green. i've sprayed RLM 73 which seems right but if got this issue, RLM 72 is gray!!! and its not looking correct to my eyes. can anyone give me any feedback on this. i'm very new to the hobby so this sort of help is of great value.

I can't look up which colour is which at the moment but you've got the correct RLM numbers for a maritime Luftwaffe aircraft. One colour is a dark green and one a grey green. They are not quite the same as the RLM 70/71 scheme seen on land based aircraft (dark green and black green).

The contrast between the two colours should be quite low,you might want to alter your version of RLM 72,maybe add a little green.

Cheers
