I've not seen a totally convincing argument as to why some of these aircraft were painted in RLM76 overall.  It may be that the units, or sub-units, operating in this scheme were dedicated to the top cover role, but in that case a somewhat darker shade (like PRU Blue) would seem more appropriate.  The Germans had a long-running requirement for better performance at higher altitudes (fear of the B-29) which eventually led to the acceptance of the "big compressor" 109s as an interim solution, with the Ta152 following, and the turbocharged BV155C as a back-stop.

 

 

 

I've seen reference to it being a night fighting scheme (I've seen aircraft with exhaust covers fitted) although neil's explanation that is was just the delivery scheme makes sense

I have the G14AS boxing and it's good to see AZ acknowledge the difference between that and the G10 (in terms of telling you to fill the requisite panel)
