I have no idea what colours to paint my Me 210. I have done reaserch, but most of the pictures are in black and white. I also need a good colour photo of the interior, thankyou. and keep building all you people.[:D]
I have Revell-Monogram’s Pro Modeler 1/48 version of the the Me 410–which is the direct descendant to the 210. It is in storage, so I cannot access it to get the color reference guide. I remember though that the interior color is RLM 66 Dunkelgrau, which is a dark gray, and the underside was a very light blue color–RLM 76(?) Lichtbleu. I do not remember the topside exterior colors…they were mostly painted with a splinter pattern camoflage composed of grey-blue and grey-green colors. Can anyone else help with the specific topside camo colors and reference numbers???
You might try Squadron/Signal’s “Me 210/410 in Action” book–for color and painting reference. The “in Action” series is an excellent and affordable reference guide.
Good luck and happy modeling!
Right you are on the bottom color, senojrn. Also the interior…
The schemes for the 210 & 410 should be similar. For the standard scheme, the lower color is RLM 76 Lichtblau. The upper colors are RLM 74 Graugrün and RLM 75 Grauviolett. The fuselage mottling would be 74/75 with a bit of RLM 02. Here’s a scan from an Aeromaster sheet that shows the splinter scheme from the top and sides.
There was also an earlier scheme thtat consisted of two greens up top, but this was relatively rare.
Hope this helps!
Fade to Black…
thank you for your help.
