Re: eBay: Bf 109 two late war machines! Superb.

Folks,

Thanks to Anders, Cpt_Farrel, here is an obviously similar machine, depicted at Leipheim, early 1944:

Bf 109 G-6 W.Nr. unknown, "Schwarze 9", 8./JG 3, Leipheim, mid March 1944. Source: Forsyth and Creek 2004, p. 95.

Anders thinks this might be actually the same plane.

@Christian,
Good spot as well. The only issue is the darker hue for the central band; it looks more like yellow (?)

Cheers
Marc
