Re: Messerschmitt Regensburg Bf 109G-14's colours

The description broadly (this term is default when speaking of LW Cam. & Markings) applies to the camo put on Regensburg examples since early Bf 109 G-6 series (except for the RLM 82 colour, of course).

Attached please find a couple of images of a couple of mid/late MTT G-6s (RQ+SY W.Nr.163599 and NF+FD W.Nr. 163803) whose camouflage style can reasonably be thought as applied also on early G-14 models.





Please notice that on most of the "tall tail" examples, since the tail unit (top fixed section and rudder) was built and pre-painted by separate sub-contractors, the scheme was of the (as we know it) "K-4" type and it was toned down by liberal overspray patterns in 76. This can be noticed on a great number of photographs since the late G-6 versions as early as the 162000 batches. We devoted a separate chapter on that in our book on the ANR C&M.
