Wanted: Colour schemes for German Ju-87D-3

[Pathfinder]

Hi guys, been a long time as I've been really busy. Anyway, a belated Happy 2008 to all.

As the title really: Can anyone supply me, or tell me where to find some colour profiles for the Luft Ju-87D-3? (I say Luft as I know a lot of the Axis forces used them).

Cheers

Welcome back Pathfinder!

I have this one, labelled as a D-3 but I am not an expert

Regards

Chris

Excellent, thanks Chris.

The top image is indeed a D-3 and the bottom a G model with 37mm fixed anti-tank cannons.

I already had that image of the D-3 but have decided to use it now. Maybe someone could confirm that it is:

Ju.87D-3 'Barli'

Unit: Stab II/SG 2 'Immelmann'
Serial: T6+BC (W.Nr.2491)
Served in the autumn and winter of 1942 in the Stalingrad area. Gruppe 'Der Bamberger Reiter'.

Hello again

Whoa! Put your hands on your head and step away from the PC (or should I say "Put down the brushes and step away from the eisle"?)

I have 2 other profiles, let me get back to my home/office and I'll scan and post 'em.

Cheers
Chris

Forgot to ask anyone if they knew whether the red circlular unit emblem would be on both sides of the Ju.87 fuseleage?

Here's another interesting D-3

The photo posted by Primoz shows an aircraft flown by a Knight's Cross winner - can't remember his name off hand. Will have to look it up when I get home.

Thanks Chris I'm not painting yet anyway, just planning compositions and gathering details for components.

Primoz that's a great photo! However, it is labeled as a D-1.

Was there any external difference between the D series?

I have now seen photos of D-3s with both 5 and 6 exhausts. Some have the siren props on the spats, others don't.
