Re: Photos
Concerning the Bf109K-4 335xxx:
The dots on the tail unit are described on p.56,57 of JaPo´s "Bf109K -Camouflage and Markings" including the wing splinter camo scheme.
I don´t think it´s a dark fuselage band. There´s a K-4 W.Nr. 335800 found at München-Riem described with "yellow fuselage band and red stripes". IMHO the "stripes" are adhesive bands or putty and "yellow" are parts painted with some yellowish primer. Take an orthochromatic b/w film and you´ll get the results depicted on the photograph.
Does anybody see a hand-painted "8" directly behind the Balkenkreuz?
This would fit into my hypothesis that large 6-figure W.Nr. on the rudder are connected with huge hand-painted 3-figure W.Nr. on the aft fuselage sides.

Roland
