Re: Camouflage colours on a Ju 87A
You say that export schemes are irrelevant: but the "third scheme" is seen on He111P in Luftwaffe service, despite this variant not being exported.
You may be right about the scheme not seeing service, and it would be good to actually see one of these variants, but just casting doubts on sources doesn't answer the points suggesting otherwise. Far from Merrick abandoning an early idea, he continued to describe it in his final work on the subject. From his work for Classic Vol 1 page 45 partway down the second column. "...by using a mirror reversal option, plus rotation of two of the uppersurface colours..."
Unless more evidence appears, we are just talking in circles. In the end, if the mirroring etc is ok for Uhlmann to accept then it's ok for me.
