Manu Della Valle Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) That's a wood pore-filler laquer to treat the wood before painting...it could have been used for Me163s,Arados,Gothas,He162s and even Oma Heidi's rocking chair after the War or if her hubby happened to work at a nearby LW facility! "Dicklack" in red means that it was thick and needed thinning! HTH Manu P.S.;can I post your picture on a modelling page?

ChrisMAg2 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) If I may, I would like to add something on the paint label mentioned earlier: Flieglack 7138.- reads as Aero lacquer #7138. The "-" after the four digits indicates this is a transpart, non colored or clear medium and could also be expressed as ".00" The "Flieglackkette 33" is a system or group of paints that are to be applied according to the purpose. In this case (Flieglackkette 33) is for fireproofing of wooden surfaces. There were ca. 10 different Flieglackketten directely relating to use and purpose, e.g. for internal, external, metal, wood, fabric, plastic, firepoofing, anti corrosion, for land and or sea based aircraft. This means 7138.- is a wood pore filler (sanding sealer) with a side effect of also fireproofing wooden surfaces. These surfaces could then be top coated with e.g. (for the He162 wing surfaces) a polyvinyl chloride based lacquer 7115.81, 7115.82 or 7115.76. The term "Dicklack" refers to a highly thixothrope medium (lacquer base) that had to thinned down according to e.g. the used spray nozzle and spraying pressure. Regards Christian M.

Desert Rat Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hello Chris, At last a sensible answer, all we have to is print it out- go to Google Translate - and wait for the answer. But you have answered it and I agree.....Many Thanks for the info. Best to you.....Desert Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMAg2 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I forgot to mention the following: In my example for the possible topcoat of this primer, the two digits after number 7115 indicate hereby the colors of this topcoat. 76 is a light (sky-) blue, 82 is a dark green and 81 can be a brown or green depending on the source. There is also the term "unbrennbar" which means "not flammable or not combustable". I don't know how this may or may not relate to the signage underneath this label. Regards Christian M.

ChrisMAg2 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I found an article, referring to some war time paint cans found in 2008 in the Czech Republic. http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/2008/07/01/luftwaffe-paints-new-discoveries/ On the first photo, the last line could likely read: Fa. Ick, Danzig as in Ick Company of/ from Danzig. Little by little, we are getting somewhere. Only, I don't know where "somewhere" is or will be... Regards Christian M.
