Ar 234 landing
The Ar 234B-2 coded F1+AD belonged to the Stab III./KG76. That means the "A" letter was of the green colour and might have been repeated under the cockpit. She was flown by Mjr. Hansgeorg Bätcher who was the commander of the III./KG76. IIRC the serial of the plane isn't known.



What does have in comman with the Ar 234?
Do you know when Major Hansgeorg Bötcher's plane was shot down or hijacked?
 
As far as I know, these colors were used by the Luftwaffe until the summer of 1944. Here... And here the question immediately arises: were the ar-234 b-2 t9+KH painted in the old colors? After all, Sommer brought the T9+KH to the unit on October 14-30.

All sources indicate the RLM 81/82/76 camo scheme.

No, I don't.

Why do you think that either of these things happened? For example the biggest loss suffered by III./KG 76 was when Achmer was bombed on 21 March 1945: 10 Ar 234 destroyed and 12 damaged.
 
How did the Germans apply white washable paint to the ar-234?

According to the pics of the F1+MT (W.Nr.140173), F1+HT (W.Nr.140596), F1+HS (W.Nr.140311), F1+?S ( W.Nr. 140356) or 8H+DH ( W.Nr.140476) the paint was applied with a paint gun.

Do you know about the F1+HT aircraft? It was also painted in winter field camouflage. But here's the question. Some sources say that he was drawn in RLM 65. Is this true?

You really need to take a look at books on the Ar 234 and come to your own conclusions. It is almost impossible for anyone to give you a definite answer about exact colours used based on monochrome photos.

However we do know the camouflage scheme specified for the Ar 234 B and, as you will see when you look at the available photos, there seems to be little variation in how these machines appear. A few had the winter overspray, most of the examples we know from photos didn't.
