Oberflächenschutzliste 8 Os 234C:
Released by Arado and approved by the RLM, designating the ‘green’
70/71/65 camouflage scheme to be worn by the Arado 234 C four-engine jet
bomber-reconnaissance aircraft (Smith and Creek, 1994, pp.247-249).
COMMENT: As befitting an aircraft for these roles, the Arado 234 bomber
was to be painted in the accepted 70/71/65 scheme. Shortly thereafter on
July 1, 1944 (see below), the RLM instructed the change to the ‘new’
green 81/82 scheme. However, throughout its production run, most Ar 234
were continued to be painted in the old 70/71 colours (Smith and Creek,
1994, p.247). Although the above reference was for the four-engine
C-variant of the Ar 234, photographic evidence shows that the twin-engine
B-variant had an identical camouflage pattern, with the former having
slight differences to account for the paired engines under each wing
(ibid.).

Oberflächenschutzliste 8 Os 262A?:
It is most probable that Messerschmitt created and had approved by the
RLM this document designating the 'grey' 74/75/76 camouflage scheme to be
applied to the Me 262A (Merrick and Hitchcock, 1980, p.46).
COMMENT: Considered as a fighter-bomber, the RLM naturally conferred the
then-current grey 74/75/76 camouflage scheme on the Me 262. As noted
above, the Arado 234 was to be used as a bomber-reconnaissance type and
was to wear the green 70/71/65 scheme. As far as the author is aware, no
reproductions of the 74/75/76 Me 262 Os 8 document/diagram have been
discovered to date. All camouflage drawings so far published detailing
this scheme are based on the examination of photographic data.
