Actually, I have seen it mentioned quite often that plans are afoot to repaint the Bf109E in the Deutsches Museum in the Spanish markings it had while with the Legion Condor. If you also consider that their CASA 2.111 was displayed for many years without markings of any sorts, and that it will be repainted in Spanish colours once its restoration has been completed (it is currently dismantled at Oberschleissheim), as well as the fact that the Messerschmitt-Stifung's static reengined Hispano was displayed there in primer paint only, then chances of ever seeing the 109 in an any colour scheme using RLM colours are decidedly slim....!
