Here is a comparison of Humbrol paints equivalent to RLM colours used by the Luftwaffe during WWII. I think that Humbrol 141 (RLM 02 Grau) is not made any more unfortunately.

Hopefully this helps with WWII Luftwaffe builds!

RLM	Humbrol
02 Grau	141
04 Gelb	24
23 Rot	60
65 Hellblau	65
66 Shwarzgrau	164
70 Shwarzgrun	91
71 Dunkelgrun	161
74 Gragrun	92
75 Grauviolett	27
76 Lichtblau	127
79 Sandgelb	63
80 Olivgrun	116
81 Braunviolett	98
82 Dunkelgrun	80
83 Lichtgrun	155
84	146

No problems, I did a comparison against Xtracolour paints. I know how frustrating it is to try and get good RLM colours when using Humbrol. Wink
