Colour RLM 45 dark red??? / He 162 nose colour

Hi Folks!

In the new issue of Flugzeug Classic (August 2006) is part 2 of the He 162 flown by the French after the war. There I read that the wooden Nose of No. 3 was painted in a dark red similar to RLM 45.

I have never heard from that colour. I also couldn't find anything in all my books.

I want to illustrate the He 162 A-2 W.Nr 120231 "White 6". The plane had an unpainted fuselage. Just the nose and fuselage cone were painted. The cone colours are clear, but the nose colour is still a mystery for me.

Maybe someone can help.

Cheers, Simon
