    I presume you mean that camo? if so i'm just finding top pics. i can say that shes an elusive bird, i have a friend who flys for 312 squadron at Volkel, he informs me that it was a wrap-around scheme but was uncertain whether underside of wings were in fact camouflaged.

    EDIT: On that front about wing underside, no camouflage applied.

    This is a F50 which has a different scheme then the F27 had..
    Tried Airliners and some other picture sites, but found no clear pictures of the top side..

    wasn't the F-27 the 'Typical' green and brownish colours?

    I do know the colors, including ral numbers, but would like to know the camo-pattern on the wings

    Just wondering: are those color actually RAL colors?
    I thought that the KLu mostly used/uses FS595 colors. And the colors from that scheme look like RAF colors, what would suggest BS colors in fact (though some of them did appear in the FS595 list as well)

    the KLu does used to use BS colors but when they converted to the F-16, colors also changed to FS standard as all aircraft were - in due time - repainted in similargrey shades..
    All colors howevers can, more or less, be translated into RAL colors which in convenients as not FS and/or BS colors are no standard feature in Photoshop...

    Are RAL colors standard in PS then?

    No, there is an payware add-on available, but there are also some sites that provide you with the RGB codes versus RAL numbers so that works quite well although I must admit that these don't always seems right, for example, as per KLu details dark grey on the F-27 is RAL 7024, this however is a too dark, blueish color that visually doesn't match the colors that show on the pictures that are available.... But it's still better then nothing and gives at least an indication where to look for matching colors...

    Ah, OK.
    I understand. I have software from RAL myself, it's a program and it has several Photoshop swatches for various devices. But I was curious if it came with Photoshop also.

    Personally I would not opt for translating FS595 to RAL, since often it is nothing more then a close match.
    Why don't you use RGB values for FS595?
