I believe the brown is way off both on profiles and Czech restored example...

You're correct.  AMT-1 Light Brown was actually a tan colour, which originally had more grey to it but became more tannish as the war went on.  The AMT-12 Dark Grey is also wrong on the profiles and the Prague-Kbely restored example - it should be much darker, approaching almost black according to some sources.  The patterns are correct, though, and correspond to the NKAP templates.

Hi,
from wartime photos, it looks that the brown on the metallic part of the fuselage was darker than on the rear fuselage. I don't know if this is due to the different paint, or to the method of application, or to the heat of the engine.
Regards
