I have been trying to determine the color specifications for Kermit Weeks’ Bü-133C Bücker Jungmeister, YR-PAX, but have not been successful. I have many photographs (actually, over 100, with much detail), but as most of you know, color reproduction through any photographic process, chemical or digital, is inexact at best. I have corresponded with the Fantasy of Flight Museum, but they indicate they do not have the paint specifications, as it was restored in the U.K. They could not identify the company that did the work. Since there are a lot of very knowledgable folks reading this forum, I thought a post would be worth a shot. Anyone with any info here?

Ok, Ok, I’m here Yak11Fan!
C-47 is off to Fairford for the weekend and the Spit is going great guns, 10″ wheels and brakes started to go on today not to mention trying to fix a few Stearman snags.
I had a quick look for the paint specs after work and will PM gallen with the results when I find them though I’m nigh on certain they were RLM colours from memory. Cheers.
