The only notes I have on this aircraft (although I haven't really researched it) are that it is from II./JG 77 Norway 1940

That's somewhat interesting. Looks like desert camo don't you think? Norwegian camo would be green in summer and maybe some kind of steel blue in winter. Was there a Flying Circus in Norway that we don't know about? jonny

I think the lighting has distorted the color somewhat its a standard RLM 02 Grey, 71 Dark Green splinter scheme over RLM 65 light blue. The light color in the photo looks more like tan but if you could see it in person its a green grey color.
