Re: Strange Colours on Fw190 wreck...

Hello!

It looks like the top layers (JG54 camo) has been painted with brush? Will that rule out German paints?
Soviets did have brush-painting version of nitrocellulose laquers: A II (k). The "k" stands for k(ist') = brush.

For what it is worth. There is a telegram among Heeresgruppe Nord KTB attachments which mentions German night harrasement planes being painted with Soviet black paint. Don't remember offhand the year, should be either 1943 or 1944. The planes would have been from Luftflotte 1 as was JG 54.


Cheers,
Kari
