Hi there.. i use Model Master enamals for most of my work and they make a Grau RLM 02 Luftwaffe (Semi-gloss) color in thier german line of colors.

According to urban's color reference charts its FS # is 36165 but no idea if anything comes in that in MM.

other equivelents close to it are Tamiya XF-22 and xtracolor X201 according to the chart.

this is a mid grey color

just pulled out my MM tech reference and took a look at the color chips..

for Model master colors i'd use prob FS36251 Aggressor Grey myself

there are also a couple of other colors close in model master II colors. (their extended line)

FS 36176 Dark Grey is fairly close. but not exact. also FS 36173 Air Mob. comm. grey is pretty close but looks a little to dark and makes the color look a little more off than dark grey

Remember the germans didn't have the best quaility control on their paints.. esp towards the end of the war.. so close works.
