Thank you Chris for the image
That is most interesting, as the painting guide for the four color scheme indicates that there would be at least two different colors on each wing at the leading edge. Also note that the front of the strut is also painted a dark color. I cnnot find another picture showing that design.

In going through the pictures on my hard drive, I noted that some "repainted" Hs 123s had the upper dark green wrap around and under the leading edge of the wings (similar to Italian style), while others did not.
