Cpt_Farrels skinthread MkII
 

Since it's three months since my last post I thought I'd start a new thread for my latest stuff. I've posted my first Bf109E-4's today. There's four of them and all four depicts Helmut Wicks aircraft and the way the markings evolved during the autumn of 1940.

First there's the "Yellow 2" version from Septbember 5:th, 1940:

On September 28:th Wick had been promoted to Gruppenkommandeur and a Yellow cowling and spinner had been added. The aircraft also wore yellow wingtips and off course the double chevron of a Gruppenkommandeur.

About a week later the rudder had got some yellow paint and the yellow wingtips were gone without a trace, very strange but the photos confirms this... The spinner backplate had been painted white as well.

On November 10:th Wick was the Geschwaderkommodore of JG2 and had had the markings changed to reflect that. After a couple of days a Geschwaderkommodore the groundcrew had repainted the rudder with a more clean and organized "scoreboard"

Loverly work mate

How nice of you to say so! You gonna hate me now then :grin:

Today I've uploaded two Bf109E-3's and three E-4's...

The Grey one I've done in RLM 74/75. Adolf Galland once claimed that the colors they mixed in 1940 to try and come up with suitable greys were later used as RLM74 and RLM75. I don't know about that but judging from a colorphoto of Gallands Emils it seems plausible. Besides, if the colors were done using RLM65 with various greens it makes sense that the lighter grey is more blueish while the darker is more greenish as the 65 would have had less effect on the dark color.
