Question for Hungarian aviation color experts—were the He.70Ks ever painted in a mottled camo scheme? Photo enclosed.

[28ZComeback]

I found a few photos of He.70Ks in Hungarian service 1938-1940, and they show a mottled scheme, particularly on the tail surfaces.  I have found no such profile or drawing that shows such a scheme, and the wonder if it was an aberration?  Thank you in advance for any information.  (I have attached a wiki article- the mottled schemes are halfway down the article). 

 

Thank you again.

I am not expert on that but interesting in it. At least one He 46 was painted in mottled scheme (F.322, 1943), this is apparently re-painted machine with white crosses, not arrows.  Ju 86K (B.348) has a camo with high demercation line and mottles (a photo in Hungarian booklet from series "Modell extra").  Do 215 (F.707) has mottles on RLM 65 some undersurfaces  (other infos from J.Railich, Z.Lalak, W.Bączkowski, M.Murawski,  "Sojusznicy Luftwaffe part 2".Books Int.

Do you think this could be a mottled (or generally uneven) overspray of the segmented scheme?

Otherwise, this additional shot of 403 suggests some kind of mottled-like finish:

And, for some other Hungarian He-170s (He-70Ks) :

One of the reasons might be april 1941 war against Yugoslavia. Theathre markings for hungarian aircraft in that campaign were solid yellow nose and tail surfaces which were repainted before war against war against SSSR

Good reason could be, but the mottled scheme is seen on F 403 here on photo said to be done in 1939

Perhaps it is a result of same repair? Moreover, here http://www.avia-info.hu/talalat.php?Ujtipus=817 in individual history it is said, that F403 crashed on 9.04.1940 killing the whole crew...
