Can anyone help with the colours used in the above airforces in WW2? I've checked the net, and found some pictures on Wings Palette. I might be looking in the wrong places.

Ifor, there is an interesting web about aircraft profiles of WWII: WWII DRAWINGS.

Ifor it would depend on the nationality of the aircraft. Any overseas purchases would probably be provided in the original camouflage scheme of the providing country's airforce.

If repainted then the Baltic States would probably be dark green over pale blue. Spain I'm not sure but if not green over blue them might utilise a sand/light brown somewhere in the scheme ?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Depends on the exact aircraft that you mean? A link, maybe?

Many aircraft of German origin in export markets were delivered in RLM colors, and they kept that scheme (e. g. the splinter cammo in Spain). The Baltics are more special, AFAIK, the Gloster Gladiators there had specific (yet simple) schemes and colors.

Thank you all.
I have an awful lot of kits stashed away and aI wanted to paint some of the later Luftwaffe aircraft in  Spanish or Baltic schemes. I've seen the HE 112  on Wings Palette and WW2 together with the Gladiators, but I've never seen any schemes or articles with any in depth info.

This may help for Spain, lists units and equipment, so possibly a good starting point for research.
