most german hardware from 1916 on was painted greenish gray color like seen in the photo above posted by bo. the color to my eye is a mixture of rlm 02 and ww2 british interior grey/green. most metal fittings on german aircraft inside and outside was painted this color.

Thank you.
I saw them indeed in grayish and greenish..😊
I will try the color mix you suggest.

Martin -- Scott knows as much about this as I do. We have two survivor Albatros to look at (prior to restoration) plus a smattering of fragments to refer to, all of which suggest that TVAL nailed it or at least got pretty close with the greyish green. As Scott suggests by his color mix, it seems a bit greener than RLM 02. WNW calls for Tamiya XF76

slow progress, but getting there.
And Tamiya XF76 it is for the interior metal fittings...
The MG I produced many years ago in 1/16, falls short in this model, mainly the front mounting..
I will have to scratchbuild 2 new sets of these, and the metal offerings from model airwaqys are no option at all, not even a part of..
