RLM 81/82 – More secrets unveiled

[Cpt_Farrel]

Oberst, read posts 11 and 12, there seems to have been trouble with 70/71 and quality. The info in my post comes from Jürgen Kiroff, written in an appendix to Ken Merricks two volume work on Luftwaffe camouflage. In post 12 there's a good example of what have been the reason for the paint darkening.

Even if there was an unlikely typo or misunderstanding in the document as to how the quality of 70/71 was bad it doesn't make the document less valid does it?

I agree that it's surprising that such paint passed the rigorous quality control of the RLM, was there a change in the formula that created unforseen troubles I wonder?
