Re: Rudder markings

Hello,

Maciej Goralski sent me a PM with, apparently the solution, that I would like to share with you. Hope that you don't mind Maciej:
On this photo it appears that the background aircraft are also Bf 109 G-2s (I believe I see small air scoops on the noses of Black 9 and the next a/c in the row. Not that they can't be found on Bf 109 Fs, but I've seen this improvement only on long-serving Friedrichs, ie. school machines and some of the Fs used by JG 5, who, I think, used the F-variant for the longest period amongst the front line units).
The scoreboard on the tail would belong to Oblt. Fink, although again the placement of white bars doesn't fully match the victory list (Fink's night victories were his 8th-16th, without "interruptions"). Fink claimed his 28th on 11.09.1942 and didn't score more until December.

Thanks
Erik
