about that.. in the museum at gardermoen where i work restoring a Ju 88 A1 ( werknumber 0119 ) we have taken several original stabs from other wrecks to use in the restoration prosess. it was quite a unusal sight when we drilled of the top skin one the stab and they are green inside. the pictures might show them a bit grey ( its dust ) but they are green as the leafs on the trees..and these has not seen sunlight since they were rivited together by Junkers company, and i have after that noticed that many skinns facing inside of german aircrafts are painted green ( some dark..some lighter ) the last stab we opened had pretty much the same colour as the above picture.. just make a i bit wet so the pigment show better and the pics i post here will get a lot greener. its not the same green as the tail shown in this thread ..but still its green

now if this is tail is real or not i will not get into as i havent seen it in real life ! but the green inside is 100% ok with me.
