next example for the different profiles/painting from different sources is the yellow 15 of JG 301 ... shown above, in the Jagdwaffe series it comes with RLM 75/83/76, in Crandalls Dora book pt 1 it comes with RLM 82/83/02 and in Japo Publishing Dora Book pt 2 it comes with the RLM 81/02 of the 500xxx batch ... i´m going for the Japo book :) looks like this:

:) Honestly I don't know if other late series are painted like that... Some prototypes were. Perhaps were they exceptions in one serie because of shortcoming of paint?
75/83/76 I don't know... I think that the difference between 75 and 83 would be more contrasted. Don't you think? Let say that I belive in Crandall, the god of the 190  ;)


yes RLM 83 is a more darker green, perhaps some of the experts can say something about it?

I agree with you about yellow 15 ;) Splendid work! Picture of the port stabilizer is pretty convincing on Japo vol.1 p.281...
Would it be possible that Crandall could be mistaken!!!???  :o Perhaps he will say that is because of the sun that the shade look lighter...
Interpretation ... interpretation... :)
BTW, there is a withe bar before the yellow band ;)
Hell! those skins are beautiful!
