What color did the italians use on the undesides/upper surfaces of their AC in 1941?
The kit intructions (m.c.202 folgore from 80 squadriglia 1 stormo) suggest RLM78 and RLM83. My first reaction is that RLM83 is wrong. I think RLM78 should be Ok! but I’m uncertain.
I was thinking of using Humbrol #117 (FS:34102) instead of RLM83 and go with the suggested RLM78.
If RLM78 is OK I also need help to find a matching Humbrol or FS color.
I really need your help with this lads and gals
Polly Scale has Italian colors. You can look at the list here and decide the best way to go from there.

Here is the IPMS Stockholm list for Italian a/c, and some brands that have the colors.

Stormo also has a great reference for Regia Aeronautica colors:

Thanks for the help! with the info you provided I managed to sort a few things out. The colors should be correct now, feels great. [:)]
