I have a Finnish WW2 aircraft that I'm about to start painting, but I'm not sure about the colors (ok, black can't be misunderstood...) But as far as the olive green as part of the camo on the top side, and the light blue color for the lover fusulage, I have no clue. Is there anyone who knows???

And one more question, the instructions call out for the so called "Eastern front" markings to be painted in gloss yellow, but the little reference I have about the finnish air force says that all colurs where to be matt... So, what's right in this case.

Hope these help as a starting point.
