Hs 123 camouflage diagram

If it is a single green than is it 70 or 71? From the info presented it does not appear that that is very evident.

Considering the non-existent color contrast fuselage/propeller, for me is the RLM 70 Schwarzgrün

This image is interesting!



Watch top wing leading edge- port side is very dark and the starboard side is much lighter. Any idea?

Thank you Chris for the image

I forget to note that starboard wing show (at least) two shades while the other side look to be single shade.

That is most interesting, as the painting guide for the four color scheme indicates that there would be at least two different colors on each wing at the leading edge. Also note that the front of the strut is also painted a dark color. I cnnot find another picture showing that design.

In going through the pictures on my hard drive, I noted that some "repainted" Hs 123s had the upper dark green wrap around and under the leading edge of the wings (similar to Italian style), while others did not.

Yes, replacement wing.

Good, wing replacing is very logical answer.
