can anyone point to some references for this predominantly khaki-tan Tu-2?  Very unusual scheme. Thank you.

Hi, 

there are many photos (the majority, perhaps) that show the wings of Tu-2s as light. It is not clear if this is because they were really painted light brown, or it is a matter of fading. On the same photos, the fuselages, tails and engines show camouflages with much higher contrast. 

Regards

Massimo

I have built my 1/72 ICM Tu-2 in exactly that colors.

I used a color profile from a book by Jason Nicholas Moore: https://www.amazon.de/Tupolev-Tu-2-Forgotten-Medium-Bomber/dp/178155532X

Unfortunately I have no background info about the purpose of that scheme.
