Camouflage

Gray upper surfaces over pale blue-gray sides and undersides, with soft side mottling. The inspected 1943 photographs identify RLM 74, 75 and 76. Other years show this family as a comparison, not a dated individual aircraft.

A-8 dimensions, BMW 801 D-2 engine and standard armament. The museum object is a surviving airframe, not a complete factory specification.

The external dimensions and major equipment are documented. Surface profiles, small fittings, cockpit spacing and finishes are reconstructed. A restored or later-variant component is not treated as an exact A-8 factory drawing.
