Here's a link to a Stuka model where the builder mentions the controversy regarding the smake color. Interestingly, he went with a "clear" snake having the fuselage camo show through the body. The head as you can see is filled with a sand or yellow color.

It is funny that one of the most popular Stuka schemes ever has the least amount of verifiable pics.. :?

I think perhaps TKO needs to post the new photos that 21st is using for their 'corrected' reference. 8)

Osprey Combat Aircraft # 6: Junkers Ju 87 Stukageschwader of North Africa and the Mediterranean page 58 has 2 black and white photos of the snake. The pictures don't match the "clear" camo in the other post. Don't know how to post pictures, so I can't show them here.
