RLM 65 Light Blue version 1938 Color Guide:
RLM 65 Hellblau was introduced in 1936 with the first edition of Directive L.Dv. 521.
The main purpose of the RLM 65 Hellblau color was to paint the undersides of Luftwaffe aircraft, both fighters and bombers.
When the Luftwaffe introduced the early 3-color splinter camouflage in 1937, the undersides of the aircraft were to be painted with the new color RLM 65 Hellblau.
Later, a two-color camouflage consisting of RLM 71 Dunkelgrun and RLM 70 Schwarzgrun splinter patches was introduced instead of the mentioned three-color camouflage. The lower surfaces were still painted in the 1938 RLM 65 Hellblau color
In 1941, a new edition of the color RLM 65 Hellblau Ausgabe 1941 was released, more faded and with a noticeable gray tint. At the same time, the RLM 65 Light Blue in the 1938 version was discontinued.
