It's possible, but they were supposed to be gone by 31st December '44.

Just goes to show what was supose to be and what was were two different things LOL


Interesting to see the patchy look on the tail, maybe repairs made and painted with new paint.


Would you say that plane is basically all green over grey and not green/earth camo?


Where can I go look to see what the tail code was for KG 558?

That cab looks like it has had quite a bit of touch up applied and the squadron codes changed maybe. If you look closely you can make out where the white and black stripes were just above the roundels. The cargo door might even be a replacement from a donor aircraft.


I built a Dakota recently and the colours were Olive Drab over Neutral Grey.

Ah yes I see the stripe marks, they were then clearly washe off and  not over painted....well spotted.


It will be rather tricky to replicated that on the model.
