Colours of markings on Ju88 of 111/JG51 1940
 

Dear all,
Could anyone please confirm the correct colour scheme that 8/KG51 used on their Ju88's in 1940.
I need it for a model of an aircraft that was shot down by anti aircraft fire on August 12th 1940 over Portsmouth.
Ju88 A1 werk nr 4078 9K+BS.
I believe that the 'B' would have been red with a white highlight around the edge and the other letters black. Is that correct?
Also, were the spinners painted red to match.
Thanks in advance
Gerry

ps. Sorry i cannot change the 111/KG51 to an 8/KG51 in the title.

Cheers Chris,

Thank you for your reply.
Is that the picture showing Oblt Wildermuth and Uffz Drosse chatting with the aircraft fuselage in the background?
If that is the picture, I do have a copy.
I just wanted to confirm that the colour scheme of the letter 'B' should be red lettering with a white highlight, and red spinners to match.
Cheers

Gerry

Gerry: Hard to say for sure but from what I have seen of 8./KG 51, it was black outlined in white, Edelweiss on the nose and red spinners. Wk Nr is white at top of tail
