Re: Photos 4-15
Questions about some of the pix.
This late model 109D (if that is what it is) appears to be in grays, not the 70/71 or single green that would be aprropriate. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6621758222 Also this 110 appears to have only two guns under the nose, no upper nose armamant. Perhaps a recce aircrat? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6271871122 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6271871141 [/size][/font]

Re: Photos 4-15
Hi Modeldad,
The 110G went through about 4 changes in its upper nose. The initial version was the streamlined fairing (around the air intake as in the 2nd photo you list) with 4 MG 17s. The 2nd version is what you have in that 2nd photo, ie, without the upper nose MG 17s. The 3rd version, has the squarish air intake fairing built for the installation of two MK 108 cannon (centre photo on p. 175 of "Zerstoerers, Vol. 2" by John Vasco) but without the MK 108s installed. And lastly, is the Version 3 but with the MK 108s installed. Now, unofficially, some 110Gs also had the MG 151/20s installed in the upper nose, which I guess you could call a 5th version. Recce versions would have the cannon in the lower nose removed to make room for the camera in the centre cockpit, and would keep their upper nose weapons. All the best, George

Re: Photos 4-15
Gruß Gott ModelVati!
No need to suffer bepuzzlement over the upper surface paint scheme on Bf 109B/C/D WNr. 544, B V + E S or R V + E S (references not to hand to know if 544 was a Bertha, Caesar, or Dora; strongly suspect a Bertha). This is simply an early (and obsolete) Bf 109 that survived to serve in a training or noncombat establishment (note the decidedly noncombat aircraft in the background) in 1940 and later. A great many—probably all—such retired survivors received a repaint in due course, possibly after a mishap, possibly not. RA
