Anybody have an idea how German WWII naval carrier aircraft would have been painted?

I did a bit of Googling. The aircraft that were to have been embarked aboard the carrier Graf Zeppelin were called Trägergruppe 186.

A bit more on Google turned up Eduard's 1/48 scale Bf-109E-1:

The first paint scheme (with the witch on it) represents an aircraft of Trägergruppe 186 in 1940. From here on, I shall defer to the experts.

Wings Palette has some schemes for German naval aircraft, which you could extrapolate to the carrier craft (what I'm doing for my 1/600 project), including one cool, but fictional portrayal of a Bf-109T in what looks like an US naval blue and yellow scheme.

There's a Ju-87C illustration here: wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/29/2/4#26
