Bf 109 G-10 130 xxx Batch

Hi guys

Perhaps I should mention that Claes Sundin has included a profile of Bf 109 G-10 "White 21" (W.Nr. 130 282) on page 97 of Luftwaffe Fighter Aircraft in Profile. I realize that color profiles are often quite subjective but Sundin along with Tullis is the highest regarded artist involved in this subject. I agree that the camouflage is quite different from the machine flown by Petzschler but we have no way of knowing if either or both of these had their factory delivered finish over-painted by the unit they were delivered to at some point. If it is true that Bf 109 G-10 "Blue 4" (W.Nr. 130 327) is very similar to the JG 51 aircraft then perhaps the JG 4 machine was repainted at some point.

Horrido!

Leo
