Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Thanks for your input Srecko; if you look at the other two pictures of this machine, one can notice it has a replacement engine cowling (and engine?) and that the remainder of the fuselage is in a very heavy dark mottle.

As for the wing camouflage pattern would a combination of RLM 81 and RLM 83 be out of place? All told, this machine is, excepting the Bodenwöhr RLM 76 snake pattern on the lower fuselage, quite a close match for the Bf 109 K-4 "Weisse 8" of II./JG 52 you can find here:

Though shifting on the red, this color shot does show RLM 81 and another dark green (RLM 83?).

Cheers
Marc
