I am currently researching my Ju 87D for the CAS campaign. I am triying to determine what camouflage schemes were used on the Ju 87D night bombers. So far several patterns seem to emerge:
1) Standard 65/70/71 camouflage.
2) 65/70/71 camouflage with light brown/sand or light grey "spaghetti" lines. Seem to have been used especially on the Italian front, but not exclusively.
3) Black underside and 70/71 top camouflage
4) Black underside and single colour top camouflage.
5) Black underside and light grey top with dark grey spots. (RLM 74/75 over 76?) Very likely to be similar to the night fighter camouflage.
Version 1-3 are pretty well documented in several pictures. However, version 4 and 5 are so far unconfirmed as far as I know. Does anybody have any proff or references on version 4 and 5?
One can of course always use artistic license and make the camouflage anyway, but it would be nice to have some indications of camouflage and markings. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
