That's what I'm saying. It's generic German industrial primer. A grey green. It gets darker with age and muck as its varnish based.

Hi Chris,

there was a short series of posts about this on the Aerodrome site a few years back, in the Methuen-Resene matching thread.

http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52567&highlight=resene&page=10

The Albatros grey-green/RLM issue was discussed from about pages 10-12 of the thread.

Cheers,

GrahamB
