Thanks for the quick response, Larry. I do
not have any photos of II./ZG76 110's, indentified as being during the BofB timeframe, without the teeth. I did come across a Profile of one, but I later realized that it had been misidentified/mislabelled as belonging to II gruppe.
FYI, the subject came up with regard to the forthcoming Flight Simulator "Storm of War: Battle of Britain". I noted in updates from the creators (Maddox 1C) some WIP screen captures which included a couple of Bf110's with incorrectly colored code letters and also this one of a II./ZG26 with code letters (correctly colored) for the II. Stab (adjutant I believe)...however, as you can see the 110 has no teeth.
Admittedly, all of the updates have been declared as being WIP (works in progress); however I've been suggesting on the Maddox 1C forum that the shark teeth should be added to any 'default' II./ZG76 110's which will be included with the Flight Sim release...anticipated by me to be sometime this Spring...I HOPE. I wanted to confirm here that my suggestion with regard to the shark teeth is historically correct/justified.
Thanks again.
