Wurmehellr "Pips" airplane was painted in early camouflage pattern for the Fw190. Top side was in patches of RLM 02 and RLM 71 color and the side of fuselage as well whole bottom of aircraft are in the RLM 65 color. I thionk that I have images somewhere and I will need some time to find it.

Hope this help

mgawa, thanks for reply. can you elaborate on those rlm color standards?? i'm not familiar with them. actual color names would help most. my buddy is not familiar with them either. do you have any underside shots of wurmhellers 190?? your help is most appreciated. by the way my buddy's website for aviation art is as follows....... www.geocities.com/larmacavart. he takes commissions, etc. any questions can be referred to me.

About your friend web site I get this:

Sorry, the page you requested was not found.

Anyway- my email is srecko.warplane@gmail.com and he is free to contact me. No problem to me to make conversion from RLM paint to some he can use today [like 2K urethane or epoxy paint]. Underside was simply, he had some personal markings used and special note large black area typical for his Jagdgeschwader.

Cheers
