Re: II./ZG76 Shark teeth markings

Hello,

One other point, most II./ZG76 a/c photographed during the BoB had a solid two-tone green upper surface camouflage, not the mottling seen here. This is more typical of early 1941 and the Balkans and later for that unit. This is based on about 50 photos of the unit's a/c during 1940, including both the WC and the BoB.

Happy New Year

Re: II./ZG76 Shark teeth markings

Doolittle,

One other point on markings. These aircraft have the 1939-style fuselage crosses that were not generally used on II./ZG76 aircraft in 1940.

Regards,

Regards,
Could you possibly send me a photo of each...II./ZG76 Bf110 with 1939 and 110 with 1940 fuselage balkenkreuz? I assume you mean that width of the white border looks narrow on the flight sim screencaptures, but should be the wider white border/trim used I believe starting in 1940...
