See the attached for the correct description of Red J. From all the research I have done, the desert planes did not use the splinter pattern. Most were tan/brown and green with blue underside of RLM 80 (Olive Green) over RLM 79 (Yellow/Brown) with RLM 65 undersides with white theater stripe on the tail section.
The second shows the 70/71 with an over spray of 79.
The third and fourth picture will show additional information on the plane you have shown (Red J)with the dark shading. It seems that someone just browned the original correct 70/71/65 skin to make it appear desert, which it is not.
But my skin isn't historicall correct , only beautyfull.
