Can anyone tell me a little about RLM 02? To me it looks like a light gull grey with a tint of tan to it. I was trying to pick up some of the RLM colors today for my Bf-109G6 that I’m getting ready to start. The local LHS didnt have the RLM 02. Everything I picked up today is Testors Model Master. I was wanting to get started on the kit and didnt really want to wait on an order to get here.
Is this close enough for what you are after?

36307 is Light Sea Gray, Model Master Enamel #1726, RAL 7003 shows as the same match on http://www.paint4models.com/
I hope this helps

Thanks TS, I think that will help, it will at least get me close. I think I have some of the MM light sea grey in my stock.
I’m in favor of the RLM 02 is shown in Rex’s link to Simmers Paint Shop. It is, to me, a grey-green.
I’m curious what resource you were looking at to see a tan/grey. Not being critical, just curiosity.
That’s a slick RLM reference, Rex. Hadn’t seen that one before, thanks!
Swing by and barrow mine after I paint my Avia today. MM, I got it off eBay.
Its definitely a Gray Green. Try mixing Neutral gray with Khaki drab if you have those 2 colors.
Thanks all for the tips and information. I agree that the Simmers Paint Shop looks the best. The grey/tan that I found was on a paint chip sheet that I saw online that someone had put together. I’ve looked a few others since then and agree that it is more of a green/grey.
Have to be careful with colors represented online. If whomever posted it does not have a color-calibrated monitor and know how post properly online , the colors can be misrepresented. If our own monitors are not calibrated, the colors most likely get more messed up.
