He 111 large mottle camouflage

[Etienne]

My next modelling project is going to be a He 111 in the scheme as reflected in the enclosed pic's.
Am I correct that these schemes comprised of RLM 70/71/65 with lage mottles of 75 over the two greens?

Thanks for any input.
Etienne.

Etienne,

I would interpret the mottles on the KG 55 H-20 as RLM 76 Lichtblau, and those on the H-2 as RLM 21 Weiss. The point was to break-up the overall dark (70/71) uppersurface colour of the aircraft when viewed at a distance. Either colour would be effective in doing this.

Cheers,

David
