Re: RLM 81/82 – More secrets unveiled

I personally had the opportunity of examining a contemporary RLM 70/71 camouflage from 1940/41 (Ju 88A and Hs 126 from DTM Berlin). I got the impression that any yellow portions of those paints had vanished from the surface, giving it a more blackish or greyish appearance.This may work well over conifer-covered areas but over a landscape with mixed woodlands and huge portions of fields and meadows this combination certainly would be too dark.
Otherwise it wouldn´t have to be necessary for JG 54 to test and switch to different coulour sytems when entering the Eastern war scenario

Regards

Roland
