does anyone have winter camouflage colour profiles for a he 111 aircraft no. s7 fa based in finland. i would love some help !..Peter
I know pixilater probably would, and maybe Swanny.
You may try and e-mail them
Blackwolf probably has photos of it (he has photos of everything)
He dosn’t post much anymore so you might want to post on his fourm:
Just remember the winter camo was applied in feild service, and with a mop and bucket.
There was never a Luftwaffe aircraft that had a nice squeaky clean application of white paint, you could always see the camo scheme showing through.

Yup. Slopped on would be right. I have a 1/72 AVI Print decal sheet the includes He-111H-6 in a winter white scheme in Russia, 1943. There is a color profile and text with it, which describes it as “whitewash applied over RLM 65” (what they mean is the belly is not whitewashed, just the upper green camo is covered) and the text points out that the whitewash “was heavily worn showing through the RLM 71/RLM 70 original camouflage scheme.” On this particular plane, the bottom of the horizontal stabs and large parts of the lower wing were painted black for night ops. Prop spinners are RLM 23 red and there’s a wide RLM 04 yellow stripe painted over the whitewash on the after fuselage and the outer lower wings are RLM 04. Sorry, not Finland, but I gave the whole description because I’ve never seen such a colorful 111 before. Too bad the sheet is 1/72. It’s an attractive scheme and I’d build it if it was in my scale.
