Re: possible ANR bf109 late war spoil?

Quite interesting, Mike.
Painting was done according Flieglackkette 22, i.e. a special green primer to keep humidity from the plywood.
There might be the chance to discover remnants of RLM82 dunkelgrün green blotches at the border of the sheet adjoining the bars of the swastika.
A final question: Late Bf 109K with wooden tails give me the impression the swastika might be applied as a Schiebebild i.e. decal because of the bad adhesive qualities of those markings. Just watch the tailfin example in JaPo´s Bf 109K opus with two paint layers. Can your sample be recognized as painted or as decal? Thx.
