UHU at NASM
there seems to be quite a bit of debate recently about its colours over on Hyperscale – particularly as the scheme seems to blow existing theories out of the water
Apparently the sqiggle overspay was the controversial light blue-green clour similar to Sky which nobody seems able to agree about – sometimes referred to as “RLM84” – some say it’s a proper RLM colour – for which all documentation has been lost – others say it’s a variation of an existing colour caused by shortages of raw products
that “84” has been replaced by 76 on the repaint, although apparently the wing root areas remain in their original finish – all other areas had been affected by a reaction between the original colours and american paints applied in the immediate post-war era

It is not fully assembled, as you can see by the picture in the link I put up. Wings and engines are being worked on as time permits, but aren’t expected to be finished until 2008
