Re: Seeking info for color profile for Stab I./ZG76 Bf110 for 09.39 Period

Balazs,

Thanx for taking the time to post this photo and your comment. I do have that photo in the DB from the same source as you. It does show a later a/c in Norway, probably about April, 1940, so it doesn't solve the spinner markings problem.

However, at the EoE Working Group (WG) we now think that we've solved that issue: it was a very thin medium green ring near (but not on) the tip of the prop spinner. Based on photos from other a/c from I./ZG76 at the time, we also think that the unit used all-black a/c letters on the top and bottom of the wings at this time. Obviously, black doesn't contrast very well with the dark green paint on the top of the wings.
