Are you sure it is not in Finnish colours?

It also showing "different" colors 74 and 75, wich is most dobtfull now. Usually most modellers use "distorted" 74 and 75.
74 as "Dark gray" and 75 as "Medium Gray".
But they forget that 74 was "Green Gray" and 75 was "Grey Violet"

Have you ever seen an original sample of the above mentioned colours? I am also told that Me 109s surviving in Finland are painted with original 74/75 paints, so hardly distorted.

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.

I would like to see any proof of use of 79 on JG5 aircraft. I believe they were completely overpainted when diverted to Finland with standard 74/75/76.
