Re: Hauptmann Gustav Rodel's G-4 help please

Iīd like to ask further queations:

Number "4" - is it supposed to be white? Looking at the photos from different angles and with different lighting it seems to be a different colour from the white of the chevrons. On the starbord photo even the black lining seems to disappear. I recall "<3+" without lining supposed to be from Stab/JG77 with "3" painted in a bright green colour (Jagdwaffe Mediterranean 42-43 as far as I remember)

The white marking aft of the spinner - isnīt it more reasonable to have a complete white ring? The yellow engine belly colour was factory-applied, the white ring in the field. In the above-mentioned starboard photo the engine bottom colour seems to be divided in two slightly different colours

Regards

Roland
