Help Please!

I need a hand if anyone is able. I need references as to the colors used on Bf-109G6/R6s of 6 Staffel, II Gruppe JG53 in January 1944. I'm trying to do Yellow Six, but the lone profile I have has strange browns that don't match any RLMs I can find, and my google of similar marks turned up nothing of use. So if one of you with those lovely expensive books could toss me a hand... Thankyou in advance!

It's not much help for your current problem but the books that many of us use for references cost no no more than $15 USD... They're usually anywhere from $10 to $13. I know you're a kid and not loaded with cash but it is quite cheap to start getting some very respectable photo references. Not to mention that they're great little reads... comprehensive but not overly involved.

I'll take a look in my books later and see if anything pops up.

Could you post a picture & time period?

Time period is january 1944. All I have is a single profile:

Well, if we convert it into black & white, to get a better idea of what the profiler had to look at...

Then, we consider that the paint scheme used, almost unanimously, in that time period was RLM 74/75/76, I'd go with RLM 74/75/76 and just assume the colors on the profile are wrong. Is that an Eastern Front bird or Reich Defense?

Read through this website, its a huge help. The only thing that I dont like is that the staffel colors are wrong, he has white, yellow, red for 1, 2, 3, staffeln of a I Gruppe, but that should be white, black, yellow, as so many sources indicate. I was actually able to see that that was a bird of 6.II/JG53 just by looking at the markings.

Reich defense IIRC. Alright I will run with those colors.
