Henschel Hs 123 Revisited

[56134]

Having looked into this issue several years ago I have completely forgotten any conclusions I reached at the time. I wonder if anyone would care to comment on the matter - upper surface camouflagd or all-over green. I know there is a body of opinion on both sides.

 

 There is a picture at http://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/germany/aircrafts-2/hs123/hs-123-1939-poland/

 

Any opinions?

Looks like definite demarcations on the cowling, aft of the "N" code, and forward of the Swastika, so I'd say camo.

 

Also, as you're new to the forum (welcome, by the way! ;)) you might not realise that the best place to post a query like this is in the "aircraft modelling discussion by era" subforums (eg. WW2 at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/23-wwii/)

rather than here in Rumourmonger, which is all about not-yet-released (and in some cases not-yet-anounced!) new kits.

Definitely camo.

There's some doubt about possibly re-worked examples late in the aircraft's career on the Eastern Front: some people are quite definite about it whereas others remain to be totally convinced.  However, there's no legitimate doubt about their scheme earlier in the war, such as this.  70/71/65.
