I just thank FHC for even attempting to put her in her authentic scheme. Regardless to what has been said elsewhere it's really obvious that a lot of work went into producing an accurate colour scheme, with chips taken from the original paint and carefully matched with colour charts. JG 54 were renowned for their 'homemade' camouflage schemes and this machine's scheme represents their mid-war version. Nobody knows for sure where they got their green colour from and speculation is pointless, the important thing is that it matches the original. If you want to see some awful inaccurate schemes look at the flying replicas......

Now to make the aircraft perfect, fly it hard for 6 weeks, don't clean it, leave it in the open and let the mechanics in dirty overalls work all over it. Oh and for good measure operate it from a grass strip in all weathers. Then you will have an authentic looking machine..............
