can't seem to find all RAL colours though... I'd rather see them have RAL all the way to the left instead of FS... you can't turn off FS either....
anyway, here's the RAL colours that I found after some internet research:
RAL8013 or Ral 8011 underwater ( RAL 8013 is probably the most correct colour, but it has been removed from the RAL colour chart, so I don't know if it is still available)
RAL 7024 Dark grey on bow, Stern, and cannon tops RAL 7000 Light grey on hull
RAL 7001 Light grey on superstructure
RAL 9005 or RAL 7016 Camouflage striping ( either deep-black or anthracite, don't know which one is more correct...)
RAL 9010 Camouflage striping Bright-white
edit: just found out only 60 colours or so from other brands match with RAL paints... and none of them are used on our bismarck... you'd be best off just using normal RAL paint from a spraycan...

Danny,
If you look at the bottom of the page you will see a check-box for RAL and others. You just tick what you want.

I know, but it doesn't allow me to just tick RAL and revell, it keeps the federal standard as it's main paint source, which is really annoying... at the bottom of the page it has all the RAL colours in a row, but with just a small amount of matches to other paints....

hi pete, yeah, found that one too, but unfortunately that paint is not waterproof. excellent paint for static models, but unsuitable for RC models... I hate clearcoat, so that won't be an option... Robertexcellent find a bit more helpful but still some colours are missing from the chart... might have to look at the local DIY store if they have any matte RAL colours... I doubt they stock them all...

I've 'stickied' this (so it is always at the top of the page) as it's a really useful reference.
Boot topping is the bit of hull between the deck and water line by the way.

Boot topping is the bit of hull between the deck and water line by the way. Oh. I thought it was the line at water level. nm
