This plane, supposedly yellow 12, appears in many photos taken by German occupants in 1941. Probably it belongs to the same unit of the similar Yellow 20.
Its camouflage is only partial, consisting probably of some black bands on the rear fuselage, fin and rudder and on the engine cowling (including black blotches on its undersurfaces), originally in shining natural metal. Seems that the wings are not camouflaged, while none available photo shows the tail upper surfaces.
The markings are interesting, including 6 red stars in standard positions, yellow (?) 20 with white outline on the rudder, black (?) 20 without any outline under each wing, red (?) wingtip undersurfaces on the upper wings, a yellow(?) spinner with what seems a small red star worn on its frontal part.
Note what seems the towing winch under the fuselage, the bombs racks under the wings and the rear mg support.
