Country: | could be didn't for some obvious reasons, the prime one is low light camo because of the overwhelmingness of the Allied fighter presence. | |

| I agree with E~ on this, the A series had some very wild paint jobs..take a look at Hermann Graf's wild looking A-5/U7 W.Nr 2594. paint makes it hard to sneak up on someone but sure is colorful....I have never seen a Dora or TA painted like this..

Country: | Besides the blue-black cowlings of IV.Sturm/JG 3 from may till July 44's end I./JG 1 was probably the most prolific. white cowlings and spinner, black and white stripes on the cowling, black/white checks, black/yellow checks, black/red checks. | |

Country: | CC yes you are correct, and they are the most colourful of all the Doras painted, the standard was a Dora with the under engine cowling ID marking of yellow and a possiblity of a yellow rudder showing up for a staffelkapitan in JG 26. II./JG 301 Doras of course had the colourful fuselage band of yellow/red but that isa bout as much colour as you are going to find amongst the greys/violets and associated shades of late war greens......... | |
