It's a difficult one to call, Bob. The 'blue' could have been factory applied RLM78, a deeper and warmer tone than the earlier RLM65... which could be the colour you need aswell, but also, and just to complicate things it could have been Italian underside blue that had been 'borrowed' from a neighbouring squadron.
Truth is there are too many variables around this period and these desert schemes, best suggestion, if you're happy with it and it looks 'right' then simply go-with-it.

Looking at the top picture, I would guess the main colors to be Italian in origin.
Giallo Mimetico 1 ( sand ) and Italian sky gray ( which looks like sky blue )
Hard to tell about the green but it could also be Italian olive green
My 5 Lira's worth .

Or, you could just read the rest of the comments and believe it could be something other than RLM colors.
:coolio :idonno

I didn't mean to start a dust storm. Guess it's best not to say I got RLM 72 down...oops....
Thanks guys, It's like all these colors, by the time you get it done with weathering and stuff, how far off the paint chips is it really?
