6./JG5 109G2

[Volron]

This aircraft was flown by Knights Cross Holder, Hans Dobrich, in early 1943. Dobrich was a member of 6./JG5 "Eismeer" on the northern flank of the Eastern Front in Finland. Yellow theater markings with standard RLM 74/75 camouflage covered by faded or distempered winter whitewash, carrying shamrock emblem on fuselage.











I used RLM 79 because I was extremely confused as to if the entire plane was supposed to be standard RLM 74/75 or if that other color was a dark orange. I know one of the colors used was RLM 70 but that was from reading.

When I was looking further and into other skins within the squadron JG5, I saw that RLM 79 was used with whitewash skins in the Finland campaign in late 1942 early 1943 but I am not sure if this skin was one that used that color.

It is an easy fix as I have the layers separated, but I really just need clarity as to if it is supposed to be RLM 76 or is it correct as is.

Also, I tried doing what devil suggested with my whitewash skins in the past and making it RLM 75 and putting a light coat of RLM 21 over it but another question: is it too white in this image, should I dim the white more?

Granted, a tad old but...awfully weird looking 109 there.
