Paging Ju52 camouflage experts: what colors were the cowling stripes on
KGzbV 7's Ju 52s in late 1942/early 1943? That outfit handed over their planes to KGrzbV Wittstock in February 1942, and Wittstock kept both the fuselage code and the cowlingstripes.(one of the Revell decal schemes is for a Wittstock machine in that guise).
I found fotos in: Kössler, "Transporter - wer kennt sie schon", p.68 Piekalkiewicz "Stalingrad" p. 421 (left cowl only, stripes all round) Smith & Gallaspy "Luftw. Camo + Markings Vol.2" p.55 (artwork only, black & white stripes) I know it is an esoteric subject, but my dad flew out of Stalingrad in a Ju52, so I would appreciate your input. TiA, Richard |

Re: Paging Ju52 cmouflage experts: what colors were the cowling stripes on
Richard, did you read the reply on HyperScale? Here's the stripe info again:
A photo caption in Ries' _Luftwaffe Embleme_, p232 states the cowl stripes were white with a blue center stripe. The rudder marking was a thin blue stripe at the top, with a small white "7" Contact me off-board for Stalingrad Ju 52s data. GRM |

Re: Paging Ju52 camouflage experts: what colors were the cowling stripes on
Thank you again; yes I did read it, and did post a reply but am not certain that worked.
I would be very interested in information (fotos or fuselage codes) of Ju 52's that flew in the Stalingrad airlift. Cheers, Richard P.S.: my e-mail address is: richard_aigner(at)aon.at (replace (at) with @) |
