Great job you are doing! Found this colorized photo in a HAF (formerly Hellenic Royal Airforce) site; it appears that you are right,

[wolf44]

I searched on one forum and another and found some interesting opinions, but because the documents are few and the photos even fewer, it boils down to approximations. But at least I got an idea.The version with the early German camouflage, I did it initially in the greener RLM63 and then I did it in the gray version.

All the best!Stay safe!

This what I have in my files:
Hs 126 were delivered to Greece in German splinter three colours RLM 61/62/63 upper camo and with RLM 65 bottoms, with fin flash, large roundels in six positions (on wings not at the ends) and black numbering Sigma {xx}.

In Autumn 1940 all comouflages in Greece were unified to soft lines borders ones and machines were re-painted in colours close to UK Light Earth/Dk Green (which of course faded in stronh sung faster than in UK). The numbering turned to white. The bottoms were also repainted since the roundels were then smaller and on photos no signs of overpaintings. The roundels were in only four positions (not at the top of wing, at least initialy - see below) and no rudder strips.

Newly found German photos have shown that the splinter pattern existed alongside the RAF style up until the end of hostilities. These photos are from overrun Greek airfields and show airframes in both style patterns. Also, they show that the roundels were not only used under the wings and on fuselage sides but in some cases on top of wings.

Hello,DreamK!
Yes,I read the greek modelers forum and the britmodels forum which is simplified to what you wrote and I reached the same conclusion. I just uploaded the skins.I think ,maybe not all the Henschels whas painted in this wavey scheme.In the absence of documents and sufficient photographs, it is difficult to maintain that they were all the same. I suspect that the planes were painted within the squadron by someone from the technical staff, probably an NCO from every 3 or 4 planes who painted as best he could.
And for this reason, there is room for the imagination of the one who makes the skin. Thats why my skins cannot be historical.

But I hope you will not be disappointed by the skins 

I wish you all the best,Dreamk!
with  respect,wolf44

Good work.

IIRC, the damage model of Edlor’s Hs126A-1 was updated by Mission_bug in 2021. Since then, the template has some new internal structures added. Could you include these structures to your very pretty skins? Mission_bug made and shared with us very easy template for this purpose here:

Anyway, my congratulations to your efforts - your skins are very nice
Best regards,

This machine is the one currently in BAT 4.2.3 isn't it?

[gunny0134]

My above screenshot came from BAT 4.0-4.1 (using Edlor's version).

The upgraded version of Mission_bug does not work with BAT 4.0-4.1.

It works fine with SASModact 5.3.

I'm not sure about the high versions of BAT.
