RLM 71 Dunkelgrün

A high-quality semi-gloss Luftwaffe 2WW dark green acrylic or enamel paint for scale models and historical miniatures.

RLM 71 Dark Green Color Guide:

  • RLM 71 Dunkelgrün was originally added to L.Dv. 521/1 at the same time as this directive was issued in 1936.
  • RLM 71 Dunkelgrün was to be used together with RLM 70 Schwarzgrün in the new dark green camouflage scheme of Luftwaffe aircraft. This camouflage replaced the German 3-color splinter camouflage that had been used before.
  • While German bombers, transport, and liaison aircraft continued to use the previously mentioned green camouflage, fighter planes received a new camouflage scheme during the Battle of Britain. The RLM 02 Grau was used instead of RLM 70 Schwarzgrün, and the lower surfaces of the aircraft were still painted in RLM 65 Hellblau. This scheme was used until November 1941, when a new two-color gray camouflage was approved for Luftwaffe fighters.
  • The upper surfaces of some German aircraft may have been painted entirely in RLM 71 Dark Green instead of the two-color green camouflage.
  • In 1944, the RLM 71 Dunkelgrün was replaced by the RLM 81 Dunkelgrün for bomber aviation camouflage in accordance with Sammelmitteilung Nr. 1.
