Red 6 was always my favorite, yellow 12 was always my second favorite. We need them for the new 109's now

Looks like your colors are off a bit... I'm pretty sure Furball has detailed pictures of this exact plane, he could give you all you need to get it spot on.

I thought there was some issue with Black6 being an unhistorical skin?

Shouldn't be.  It was restored to it's wartime markings.

I thought it was restored to non-historical wartime markings, markings that did not belong on that plane?

[EDIT: that's just what I thought I read, is all]

cc, Black 6 was resored to its original North African mrkings when it was made airworthy. Its currnt markings are identical to what it wore when it was captured by No.3 Sq RAAF at Gambut, Libya, in November 1942.

The photos below also show how different lighting can make the same color look much different. Some also show why the RLM desert tan is sometimes called desert pink.
