Thanks all for your kind replies!
Not really the best picture, but you can see the "patches" in a lighter colour (presumbly RLM 76) at the undersides.
I think this was aplied to break up the outline of the aircraft when flying over the sea.Here they have some "cloud" alike shapes Though on the captured example the D-Day markings kind of pull the attention away. But I've seen pictures of another He-177 misile carrier that had RLM 76 squares applied to it's fuselage, I guess for the same reason?
Looks great. I wasn't aware that the white patches were on the underside so learned something new.
