Coloring propeller nose

If you are referring to the 1/3 white segment of the spinner or the spiral running around the spinner both were identification markings ordered by the RLM. They,particularly the spiral,were sometimes interpreted differently by different units but the application was not at their discretion.

Hi Rus,

Many Thanks for your reply.
Here what I´m talking about. A two tone spinner of I./JG26 3rd Staffel 43. How do I determine the colors of this spinner on this b/w picture ? Is it red/white or black/white ? Difficult to understand.
I´m also searching for the camouflage pattern of this Staffel when she was from january-june 43 at Russia. All I know is : yellow cowling below, yellow rudder, yellow tactical numbers and a yellow tail band.
Any further idea there ?

Cheers - Rainer

Neither,I'd say the dark spinner colour matches the colour of the propeller blades. That would make the spinner RLM70 (usually described as black/green) and white.
I'd have to check your second question at the week end if noone else chips in.
