Ryan B. Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Please see the paint scheme illustrated here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=40576 Was the scheme above an actual painting practice? It would explain what others have pointed out, that the RLM light blue on Mediterranean ME-110s seems a darker, beiger color than the light blue on the 198 imp. gallon drop tanks often carried, intimating that an overspray had been applied to the standard, 'European' camouflage, as here: Edited February 7, 2019 by Ryan B.

FinnAndersen Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That's a colourised black and white picture. The person doing the colouring may never have seen the actual aircraft. You should regard the colours as a possibility, not as a fact. /Finn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have seen this described as a thin overspray of RLM 02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are far too lenient on the person who committed this 'work of art' or forgery, depending on how you look at it. These people are effectively claiming expertise where they probably don't have it. The plague of these altered pictures is so widespread that one really must look at all colour pictures as fake unless there is some accompanying proof (or at least a statement) that they are genuine. I suppose the next thing will be surreptitiously 'enhancing' black and white pictures so they more resemble the scheme that the 'artist' wishes had been on that particular aircraft. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan B. Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thanks, gentlemen, I didn't assume this had been colorized, particularly because of the yellow square of the foreground 110's starboard rudder. Live and learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
