Now for some prop driven stuff. In this case, FW-190D-9s. There are at least three nice kits to use for these markings and those are by Tamiya, Hasegawa and Academy.

First up is Hans Rudel's  plane in RLM 82/83/76. His plane has a large RLM 76 patch where previous markings were painted over. The mottling is in RLM 75. Note the replacement rudder.

Next is Gerhard Michalski's plane from JG 54. It is in RLM 74  upper with RLM 76 undersides. Mottling on the fusealge is RLM 74 while that on the nose is in RLM 76. No info is given for the upper wings, but RLM 74/75 seems like a logical choice. This aircraft has the original flatter canopy.

Finally Peter-Paul Steidl's JG 26 plane in RLM/82/83 uppers with 76 lowers. the fuselage itself is only in RLM 82 with the mottling in that same color. The spinner is the same shade of blue as the aircraft number..

There are insignia for all and data markings for two of the subjects.
