Re: Camouflage and subtype for 4./TrGr186 Ju87 Stukas during the PC?6
From most comments and representations, 72/73 had a lower contrast than 70/71, so that's unlikely to be the explanation. However, if this is expanded to "experimental maritime colours" then there is no way of distinguishing between sensible comments and wild guesses. The Feiseler torpedo bomber was used for experimental schemes, but it seems unlike that conventional Stukas would have been added to the trials.
The key point I would make is not to guess at the colours, but look at the patterns. The intricate shape seen on the nose is not representative of the early scheme, which involved a large number of segments.
There is the unexplained existence of a rare interim scheme, apparently using the early colours but with fewer segments, less intricate than the 70/71 scheme. This is seen on He111Ps and export Ju52s, but has not been noted on Ju87s.
