Sure. But let's clear-up this doohicky forthwith! Mick, I believe, is
the Humbrol user, and the references to Humbrol colors were his. Unfortunately
I don't use Humbrol, and I don't know what they are. The blue color we
were discussing is RLM 65 (Humbrol #23??) and RLM 78 (somewhat lighter
than 65). Then I went-off on some cockamamey theory and our thread rapidly
unravelled! Sorry.
So, those are the actual colors. Or, more acurately, that's what we were
*guessing* what the actual colors might be. I think more investigations are
underway....

average life of a pilot at the Front was 48 hours. And, to many, it
seemed an Age....
