Re: Early Bf109 and Ju88

I don't think it was Soviet camouflage. It must have been the original camo it was delivered in. The German registration ("D-AXVM") remained untouched and the Nazi flag on the tail fin was only lightly overpainted with the white disc still showing through. I went through some books last night and found a few pix of Soviet (early) Ju 88s. It was mentioned somewhere that the Ju 88 in question was one of two Ju 88 K (export version of the Ju 88 A-1). But the Russioans also had at least one Ju 88 A-0 with 4-bladed props and a WL-... registration (and the usual 70/71 camo).I think the Soviet Ju 88 A-1 (or K) carried a 3-color camouflage on its upper surfaces and sides and it must have been either RLM 61/62/63 (like the Hungarian Ju 86s and Rumanian He 111s) or a special export camo (two greens and sand, I think it was RLM 67/68/69, like the Austrian Ju 86s).
