Hi,can anyone tell me the correct colour for the dark red/brown for Italeris 1/72 sm.81 ? Its the tricolour scheme of Squadriglia,90 gruppo,30.1939(option c)
It gives the colour as Bruno Mimetico,but i have seen it as Marrone Mimetico 2.Which should i use?

Hi Tuono.
According to Postiglioni and Degl'Innocenti, Colori E Schemi Mimetici Della Regia Aeronautica 1935-1943, the colour is Marrone Mimetico 2.
Hope this helps,
Vincent.

In italian, bruno is a shade of marrone, so they have about the same meaning. To tell the truth, bruno refers to a very dark brown...
