Hi Chris - I see you haven't had any response yet from anyone here, and I can't really help myself as I'm not really a modeller. I would suggest why not check out the link below. There are plenty of good close up shots of German a/c there..
For what it's worth,
'factory colours' only remained useful for a certain period of time anyway. Most a/c were soon repainted to suit the purpose they were being used. For example - my old man flew RAF Beaufighters in the Western desert at night and they slapped on flat/matt/lamp black over everything - props, flying surfaces the lot. In the desert, the paint was soon stripped off anyway by the wind blown sand - so even a newly delivered a/c looked worn after a month or so. There were very few that stayed pristine looking for any length of time. The Jerries who were flying at night did the same - sometimes even covering up their big German crosses to make themselves less obvious at night. If an a/c was re-painted on the front line, it's unlikely they would have been over fussy as to whether it was a precise shade as recommended by German High Command. Truth be said, they used what was available. Some colour schemes were even devised by the fliers themselves - depending on which theatre you were flying in; daytime or night, (or desert vs Eastern front) - and on
who you were. I think Adolf Galland for example had his own paintjob if memory serves me right. Anyway, take a look at the
'Luftwaffe in colour' w/site and you won't go far wrong. Enjoy, and welcome to the forum ! atb, richard.
