At first glance the difference is slight and yet it is the surest recognition mark: a short mast for the aerial of the new FuG 16Z radio grew on the top of the vertical tail. Otherwise the airframe stayed the same as on the previous batch and the performance held at the same level too. The version entered service at the end of 1942 and some examples were converted into fighter-bombers with a rack under the fuselage. A collector who builds the whole development line deals mainly with the shape of the canopy frames on this item, because that did not change between the batches. All the more weight therefore falls on the color scheme and the marking, by which the individual machines differed.
A sprayed cross or number is a different paint from the surrounding camouflage and while fresh it therefore has a different degree of gloss. A model set aside at this stage looks blotchy. The answer is a final step: go over the whole surface with a uniform matting that levels the gloss out. A thin unifying breath of heavily thinned camouflage paint applied from a distance helps even more; it does not cover the sharp edge of the marking, but it takes away its unnatural freshness and the marking stops looking like a foreign element stuck on. The same pass also levels out the small differences between areas that were sprayed on different days and dried differently. Patience earns more here than another coat of paint.
