Molders 109f2

[Jim P.]

Well, let me ask you this. With all these pretty color drawings, what do you think the artist's sources are? (answer - the same b&w photos that we all see!) Don't assume that because someone has done a pretty color rendition of a particular machine that have any greater knowledge/sources than you. A lot of it is common sense based on known LW colors and the timeframe said colors were supposedly being used.

You are correct Jim. My knowledge of LW colours is limited. My uncle was the CO of an RCAF squad inthe Med.. My LW knowledge, especially russian front is not great. I have found however that with molders there are some common mistakes that seem to be universal regarding his 109Fs. Yourself and Don have been a great help in sorting things out. Don sent me some great B=W photos that have shown me the placement of chevrons, markings, vicotry bars and camo application. Using those with some books, I have pieced together what I believe is a corrct colorscheme. I will post them here soon.

Cheers
