Update on the Canuck Jug!

[Av8fan]

Wow!

I REALLY like that Canadian Jug.

I am going to have to try one.

[The Wooksta!]

But a late one would be green and grey.

Depends on your references.  The Monogram Close Up on the 109K has several in a scheme using two of the late greens which look similar to dark earth and dark green.

Very true, specifically RLM 81 Braunviolett & 83 Dunkelgrun.  Slated as upper surface camouflage for fighters in late 1944-45.

And if they're wearing the alleged RLM 84 underneath?

[Maverick]

Well, my references quote three shades of RLM 84.  Two of Graublau and one of Gelbgrau.  That being said, another suggested it was an invention of a post War writer trying to describe poorly mixed RLM 76 (really poorly mixed I'm guessing) or a possible colour that was being developed before wars end.

All of that is fairly moot however, given I was merely mentioning the two colours that could be described as 'brown' and 'green' on a late war 109.

Hey, talk about a subtle whiff.  Late Spit or Tiffie in regular RAF scheme but substitute RLM shades and matching late 109 or 190 using RAF Green and Grey.

[The Wooksta!]

I've used RAF Sky as RLM 84 before.

Bf 109Ks with the 75/83 combination look quite RAF-ish anyway as 75 looks close to Ocean grey but with a touch of red in it.  The splinter pattern is quite loose and more disruptive than angular.

I really don't see the point of getting to hung up over RLM numbers or FS or BS one for that matter, in these days of computor controlled mixes we cannot garuntee two batches will exactly match so what hope has a guy with a set of scales and a colour chart have of getting it 100% right ? Besides if there are shortages you get what turns up..........regulations be dammed !!...if it looks right go with it

i happen to be evan more if a nightmare for this, ive that great male genetic flaw, dodgy colour vision, so while 2 coulors may look identical to me, to someone with "proper" eyes they appear completly different. normaly i just laugh if anyone goes off on the colour argument...  Ive a freind who colour matched for a paint firm, he said it was a nightmare to do as so much can influence the final result, and you also have to allow for fading, solvent contaminats, thickness of coat, under coat colour, drying speed and humidity.

Agreed

[Alvis 3.14159]

A couple by Bob Fisher who postulated "What if the camouflage designers for each side in WWII were reversed?"



Subtle, but I like it.

Nice concept. Terrible shame they are close to reality, all that work wasted...
Is there some sort of level of fictional that's required to qualify as What-If? If it's too fictional is it disqualified? I'm soooooo confused!

Can't believe no one has shown this one yet.

Zoinks! That's a good one, annoyed I didn't think of it actually!
