Colours of markings on Ju88 of 111/JG51 1940
Dear all,
Could anyone please confirm the correct colour scheme that 8/KG51 used on their Ju88's in 1940. I need it for a model of an aircraft that was shot down by anti aircraft fire on August 12th 1940 over Portsmouth. Ju88 A1 werk nr 4078 9K+BS. I believe that the 'B' would have been red with a white highlight around the edge and the other letters black. Is that correct? Also, were the spinners painted red to match. Thanks in advance Gerry ps. Sorry i cannot change the 111/KG51 to an 8/KG51 in the title. Last edited by gedburke3; 29th May 2016 at 23:22. Reason: typo |

Cheers Chris,
Thank you for your reply. Is that the picture showing Oblt Wildermuth and Uffz Drosse chatting with the aircraft fuselage in the background? If that is the picture, I do have a copy. I just wanted to confirm that the colour scheme of the letter 'B' should be red lettering with a white highlight, and red spinners to match. Cheers Gerry |

Gerry: Hard to say for sure but from what I have seen of 8./KG 51, it was black outlined in white, Edelweiss on the nose and red spinners. Wk Nr is white at top of tail
