Re: Colours used on JG54 109F aircraft at start of Barbarossa
The examples you are citing are from different times in the war, if those are straightened out it may help you to your answer.
The greens you refer to on the Fw190s of JG 54 (as well as greens and browns of their earlier Bf109s) have been attributed to captured stocks of Soviet paints. The Bf109 Fs that you are interested in were painted before the invasion of Russia, so likely would exclude these particular colors. The Bf109Es from the above attached photos were shown at a time when the E model displayed both the 1940-style schemes as well as the newly repainted 74/75 scheme. If the base camo of aircraft were being repainted in 74/75, why would it not seem logical for those colors to also be applied to the fuselage sides? Don |
