Is this Dortemann's aircraft? If so. I thought his aircraft was 'Red 1'?

It is Dortenmann's aircraft indeed. According to Eduard you can make it Yellow 1 and Black 1.
Eduard writes: In late February III./JG 54 was redesignated IV./JG 26, and Dortenmann was appointed Staffelkapitän
of 12./JG 26. His Dora became 'Black 1'. The White-Black band appeared on the tail as well as IV. Gruppe's wave. According to Dortenmann´s memoirs, the
original RLM 74/75 camouflage scheme was changed to RLM 81/82, but the reason for re-painting remains unknown.
Some research I did showed the camouflage actually being RLM 82/83. So these are the colors I used.

Really nice work René.
I think trying to research late war Luftwaffe is a bit of a mine field. I think think it's sometimes hard to impossible to be 100% accurate.
Top job on your build Sir. 👌
