AK Interactive Real Colors - RLM 78 (RC946)
The pale underside blue of the Luftwaffe's desert war. RLM 78 was introduced around spring 1941 for the lower surfaces of German aircraft operating in North Africa and the Mediterranean, and it turned up on the Eastern Front too where tropical-finished machines were sent. If you're building a desert Bf 109 or Ju 87, this is the colour under the wings.
