What is with #11? It has the small intake just behind the prop, but unlike a G, it is not on the cowling cover. In fact, it looks as if it was a field modification. An F with a field intake? And the camouflage is most interesting, broad segments of dark and light.

If I am not mistaken, the series is of Dobrich with JG 5. Likely an F-4/trop.

Hello,

#12 to 15 either ... Dobrich himself.
Tschuss, Franck.

Not a production F-4 Trop as these had the G oil cooler. Likely a local mod. for whatever reason. It is an F-4 as indicated by the round wheel well. Note, also, the armored glass on the windscreen, usually a field mod.

Wrong Don,
But not only you, I've been too fast too..

. In fact it's WNr.10073, a Bf109F-4/Trop flown by "Rudi" Muller as "Gelbe 3".
Effectively the camouflage doesn't match at all with Dobrich "Gelbe 10" but yes with Muller's one.
No Cat and no number yes but the camouflage matches perfectly; note the overpainted "X" close the wing camera fairing and the dark panel around underwing cross too.
Last, Muller's Gelbe 3 wore a spiral on spinner but some pictures (most of them in fact) show this spinner markings.

Tschuss, Franck.
