Re: Walther dahl Fw 190 A8
I think this badge was discussed in detail over on AAW forum when it existed.
If we start with the fact that aircraft was marked "Blue 13" and that RLM 24 (supposedly) used for it looks quite dark in the shot we can assume that even a bit lighter "Sky" blue would look a bit darker than RLM76 that is predominantly present on the sides of cowling. "B-17" doesn't look black (you have area aft of exhausts to compare) and picker comparison in photoshop with 5x5px picker shows almost identical reading to the blue in the tactical markings. My call would be: i) white gunsight ii) blue B-17 iii) no background color I am sure some experts will show me I am wrong but - this is how I would "read" the photo.
