I agree with Franek. I've studied a lot of pictures, including many in color, for 10 years and I am almost sure that RLM 79 was not used on Eastern Front with the exeption of planes which had this color in time of delivery. Bf 109F for JG 5 or FW 190F-8 from SG 4 were good examples of that. But if I see a model of Emil Lang's FW 190A-5 black 7 painted with sand colors I can only smile.
