RLM 70 Schwarzgrün is the darker of the two-tone bomber camouflage the Luftwaffe standardised through the war — paired with RLM 71 in a hard-edged splinter pattern across the upper surfaces of He 111s, Ju 88s and Do 17s. It's one of the most-used Luftwaffe colours going, so it's worth having a bottle in permanently.

Best for

• He 111, Ju 88, Do 17 and other bomber and reconnaissance upper-surface schemes
• Two-tone splinter camouflage alongside RLM 71 dark green
• Brush or airbrush application straight from the dropper bottle

Get the 70/71 split right and a bomber build looks instantly more convincing on the shelf.

17ml dropper bottle, water-based acrylic.
