Re: Bf 109G-6 with Americans ?

Hi Thomas,
A photo confirms W.Nr. 166133. Eight photos of this Bf 109 is published in "Captured Me 109s" by J. Jackiewicz & M.Wawrzynski, 2007, available from web book stores now.

The three-view colour profile in this book has a blue tail band and upper part of rudder, contrary to the green in the profile you posted.
The authurs claim that after analyzing the b/w photos and comparing shades with the painted US flag on the fuselage, they concluded it was a dark blue identical to the blue used in painting the flag.

The above mentioned book is worth getting if you are interested in Captured 109s. (See also my review over at LEMB board for more info on this book.)
