Hello everybody,
To kick things off: I'm new here. Name's Erik, saw too late that the forum policy is to use real names as inlognames. Sorry about that! The One-Oh-Four is used as a tribute to my deceased father who has flown the F-104G Starfighter in the Royal Netherlands' Air Force.
Now my question: Which paint scheme is correct for Baumbach's Ju 88A-4 A6 + HH, the version of AirDoc with yellow shield and spinners or the painting instructions by Hasegawa which feature half painted-out white portions of the Balkenkreuze on the fuselage and fully painted-out white portions of the Balkenkreuze on the wings? They also direct the modeler to put the swastika
on top of the ship kill-markings. Should be the other way around, I think... Hasegawa also states that the shield with the eagle has a white background and the spinners are white. As I've found on the internet elsewhere white is the color of I. Gruppe end yellow of the III. Gruppe? I know Baumbach has been Gruppenkommandeur of III. Gruppe but that doesn't exclude the possibillity that he flew with I. Gruppe at an earlier date?
