5/12 - Bf109s on eBay (2)

OK I have scanned that page, the picture is not good so the detail is poor. Because of this the Monogram profiler (and the posted Warpaint profile) gave it Yellow 81, in actual fact, it is Yellow or Red 61 with a very curly topped '6' resembling an 8 an understandable with the paucity of image.

Check your emails Franck.

I've scanned it again in very high res and I am ceratin the picture wasn't taken in the summer of 1944 but was taken at about the same time as our eBay image in May 1945. The same Fw190S is in the background and one can just make out the tail and spinner of the III./JG53 or III./JG53 Bf109 next in line.

Hi Chris,

Our friend kemon01 did put one scan on his Flickr photostream. It's dated 6/12 but from Chicago we have it this morning!

Here is the picture. At least we see the first one on foreground!

Regards, Franck.

As I said, this picture and the other must have been taken at the same time. You can see the open canopy of the Fw190S.
