Re: Interesting scheme for a Bf 109G-14AS
Hi Neil, Haggis and Skyraider3D
About the JG300 website: no, the webmaster didn’t the sensible thing. In fact, he’s building another website, with a new URL, and is filling it with exactly the same content and blatant errors as in his previous site. As if nothing had been recently published about JG 300... I’ll stop with this theme, since I don’t want to give this site more importance than it deserves.
About the dark camouflaged “Yellow 5”, I don’t think it is the one mentioned by Skyraider3D. I believe Neil is right, and this aircraft may also be seen in the French version of JG 300 volume 2, pages 180 and 181 with a profile by Claes Sundin. I discussed the matter with both artists (Claes Sundin for the French edition and Tom Tullis for the American edition), and my opinion is that this Erla-built G-10 was painted in the new RLM 81/82 scheme, with minimal RLM 76 and unpainted under surfaces of the wings.
