In Model Art No. 375 Messerschmitt Bf 109 B-E there is a good picture of the Japanese Emil and it looks fairly standard, since its B&W the exact colors can only be guessed, but would most likely be the standard factory finish of that particular batch of E-7s. The Mottle pattern also looks very standard for the period. The profile although technically well done seems to have some minor issues when it comes to the markings. Also the mottle doesn't seem to represent the effect of the photo.

Still I'd wish I had this template, one of these days I'll try my luck with profiles!!!

Haven't looked into the JG 2 bird, but she looks fairly standard with the roughly added RLM 70 in the typical JG 2 manner.
