In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

On Monday 30 April 2018, Wilko Jonker died after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic modeling were his hobby and on this website he shared all the knowledge he has collected over the years. His hobby has been able to distract him from the persistent disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.

This website will be maintained by different people for as long as possible, so that other enthusiasts can continue to benefit from extensive content.

....Like all bureaucratic organisations the Reichsluftfahrt Ministerium (State Ministry for Aviation), or RLM for short, tried to standardize as many things as possible and one of these was colors of paint, which were known by a RLM number. For example late war dark green being RLM 83. In the following list are the most important RLM colors, their official description, an approximate US Federal Standard color code and sample.
