I think I can help with the colour for the dark spots in the Bf.109 Desert camoscheme.
Back in 1986 or so there was a rather lengthy discussion on the topic among my modelling friends.

The closest colourmatch we found at the time was "Dunkelgrun" (Dark Green), which if I recall correctly, is RLM78. (I can give mix-ratio hints too if you wish them.)
The next candidate was Schwarzgrun ("Black Green"), which again iIrc, is RLM83.
The catch is, that we thought it had been applied "stipple" fashion, rather than in painted layers as it were.
{"Stippling" is acheived by having an almost dry brush that has very short bristles, and applying the colour with only the tips of the bristles which are perpendicular to the surface being painted. The result is a "mottle" effect that looks as though each dot of stippled colour is itself formed from many smaller dots of irregular size.}

I hope the colour info for the dark dots in the desert Bf.109 scheme is helpful to you Eric .


Kind and Respectful Regards Eric my friend, Uyraell.
