Various shades of light blues and blue-greys were mixed from XF-2 Flat White, XF-19 Sky Grey, and XF-23 Light Blue. The shades were applied in a random fashion to help suggest some depth and variation.
Mottled appearance of the RLM 76 shades
A very thin 3:1 mix of XF-2 and XF-23 was applied to blend the various shades together.
Some centre wing panels were painted with Floquil Bright Silver for added interest.
Chipped paintwork on the underside engine cowl panels was simulated by stippling on Humbrol Maskol with a sponge (see your SMN Techniques Bank) before spraying the RLM 76 shades
Below is the final appearance of the RLM 76 colours
