Re: A factory fresh Me 109G-G14AS

What makes it even stranger, the stencils being painted on light color is that these aircraft seem to have been painted without any RLM 76. Notice that the dark color, whatever it is, goes around the entire fuselage, even the underside, and I also think looking at other similarly camoflaged G-10's, it would have had the underside of the wings in natural metal. This would be the most extreme form of camoflage simplification at the end of the war, but it makes it strange indeed that the stencils seems to be painted on light surface. - unless they were painted on the bare metal...
