For me the JG300 blue white blue seems to fit perfectly.

I'm certainly making way to much out of this. All I want is just a splash of color! A proper splash though. One limitation is the squadron emblem. The kit comes with what appears to be a JG 3For me the JG300 blue white blue seems to fit perfectly.
The white and yellow bands in the profiles above weren't the JG ID markings. These were used for marking the theaters of operations. The white one was used for the North Africa and the Mediterranean TO region while the yellow was used for the European TO in the Russia mostly.
Contrary to these bands those you had posted earlier were the ID bands for squadrons of the air defense of the Germany. Most of LW squadrons had their emblems painted either on the engine cowls or on the fuselage side in front of the cockpit. However it could happen there were planes without the emblems painted. Additionally the chevrons were markings of function a pilot was served Eg. .. the JG commander, a tech officer of gruppe ... etc.
The bars , wavy lines or small crosses applied next to the fuselage cross indicated the Gruppe the aircraft belonged to. Just that's it in a nutshell.
Grasped.
Last time my wife ( can't remember which one ! ) picked out some clothes for me, I actually had to wear a pink shirt ............ oh, the pain !!!
Just a suggestion, but if you want some colour, you could add a British fin flash, like it's a captured machine and maybe some Stars n Bars on it, like these Do 335s...

I did. Searched through 100's and most were 1/72. The exceptions being specific US 1/48 craft. I have noticed, as limited as my searching has been, that there seems to be variations in the unit emblem sizes placed around the cockpit and cowel. Many artist renditions though. But, hey, it's something?Good catch on those decals - notice though, that they are 1/72nd scale. Also, they appear to be a few years old, so a coat of clear varnish, before use, may be a good idea, tp prevent them breaking up or cracking.
