Looking through the JaPo book which describes some of the Bf 109s of JG52 which were found at Deutsch Brod at the end of the war, I was surprised that none of the 6 aircraft covered in detail is shown with any yellow Eastern Front markings at all (ie rudder, lower wingtips, cowl band etc) - this is in contrast to Erich Hartmann's last aircraft which had the full set. At least one of the aircraft ("Yellow 11" of 3 Staffel) appears to have a relatively dark shade on the under-cowling panel - could this be RLM 04, or is it just very dirty RLM 76?

Any thoughts would be welcome!
