Bf109G-14

I am currently building a model of a BF109G-14 and have decided to finish it as "white 5" werk nr 782192 of JG53,I have seen references quoting two different sets of colours for this aircraft:-81/83/76 and 74/75/76,which one is correct? and what colours would the mottling be?.

This a/c is a Bf 109 G-6 :!: built early in September 1944 at Messerschmitt-Regensburg. There is no evidence, that the "green" colors 81/82/83 were used at this time at Regensburg. IMHO it is also to early for a green/grey 75/83 combination. The factory camo was a plain 74/75/76, but the a/c shows some repainting on the fuselage sides. The color is very dark and could be 81 or 83.
