well im building an arado e 555 and trying to decipher the color chart but havent turned anything up, any recommendations?

The colours used are from the Revell range. I don’t have mine to hand, so i can’t remember what colours it gives you. But of course this is a what if so you can paint it how ever you want.

The instructions in mine give RLM colour call outs & it is RLM 76 Lichtblau with RLM 75 Grauviolett over it. The rudders are RLM 04 yellow.

The exact shades are available from a few manufacturers, but the links below may help:

I built one a while ago, so I just went and did what I felt like!!! Since it never flew, go nuts [:P]

Traveller, what was it like to build. I don’t think i have seen any reviews on it.

Here are reviews of it: modelingmadness.com/…/e555.htm & http://www.hyperscale.com/features/2000/e555ic_1.htm

I read both of these before taking the plunge & adding it to my stash.

Thanks David. I would have bought it what ever the reviews said, but always nice to get a heads up.
