I for one do not believe the aircraft were painted in RLM colors. Given the fact that Hitler could barely supply the troops in Russia with warm clothes, food and munitions, I don't belive that paints, especially tropical colors, were supplied in quantity, if at all.

The Germans overran VVS airfields capturing a great deal of equipment. The camouflage paint of the time could vary well make for multiple greens that appear on the aircraft. Give the basic scheme was AMT -4 (Green) -6 (Black)Black and AII Dark Green, Green and Black adding a bit of black to the greens will give one colors close to 70, 71, and even 80, 82 and 83. As for the brown there is AMT-1, in both a light sand and dark version.

It would not be the first time the Luftwaffe used captured stores to equip Luftwaffe units. It seems when Germany attacked France, the Luftwaffe used munitions captured in Poland, and in the bombing of th Britain, French munitions were used.

Also, the Luftwaffe had experience in mixing colors to obtain a desired camouflage scheme. The early grays used on 109s in the BoB were usually a mix of paints at unit level, and not factory supplied 74/75.

Just need to think outside the confines of RLM numbers.
