markings

Does a list exist of the symbols used to identify Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader - e.g. S for Schlageter in the case of JG 26. I have looked at several books on Luftwaffe markings but not found such a list.

Hi, my late father was into his historic aircraft in a big way. In a corner of his garage I found this propeller blade. It has a label on it stating its a wellington bomber propeller blade, this wouldn't surprise me given his interest. I have searched the internet to try and ID the markings with...

Hi, I revived this old thread to stop from continuing to hijack the "What's the Deal with Russian Wing Design?" thread. To continue from there, go to post #8. If you haven't seen this thread before, you might like the pics before post #8. OK, I went back and re-loaded some of the pics...

Hi Guys, I'm not much of a modeller and until recently I have not spent much time at all in the last 20 years making models. When I was a teenager, like the rest of you I suspect, I had model planes all over the place, but my modelling got to a certain level and has been there ever since. I...

I'm almost certain this has been addressed somewhere already, so just direct me there and I'll shut up. :) But before that: During the Second World War the Luftwaffe had personalized markings at the Jagdgeschwader-, Gruppe- and Staffel-level. Like the JG 54's Grünherz (Green Heart), JG 53's...

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me with a project that I just started. I am looking for photographs of the fuselage sides of a FW-190A-1/2 of JG 26. The only photos that I am aware of only show the front/nose of this aircraft with the "face" markings. I have seen profiles and models with...

Did the Luftwaffe include ground kills as part of a pilot's score? I thought this was only an Eighth Air Force thing. I found a photo of Walter Oesaus's 109E, Werknr.1559 that show 39 kill markings on the rudder, 14 pointing downwards. The caption says that the downward pointing ones indicated...

Hello, I would like to know if it’s possible now, early in 2015, to have some accurate and « definitive » information regarding A6M flown by Tetsuzo Iwamoto from late 1943 to early 1945. The things I found and which seem completely or partially established are : Partially established. - A6M5...

Hello everyone, I am looking for 1/32 decals for Herbert Maxis' aircraft, a BF-109G-14AS that was shot down by US troops during a low level attack. A interesting although tragic story. I can't seem to find his markings in 1/32. I have seen illustrations and photos of this aircraft published...

I have decided to take the Revell 1/48 scale T-6/Harvard model and build it to represent a Swedish Harvard II. Quick question....The large numbers on the tail and cowling....are these the last two numbers of the aircraft serial number? I have found the list of ser #s for the Swedish Harvards...

Hello, Looking for 1/32 decals for BF-109G-6,JG 54,Gunther Sahl. "Black 8" They are on EagleCals EC # 39. Any help with providing markings would be very much appreciated! Thanks Rick R.

Here is a model of the Re.2002 that I built last winter. The build was an experiment as it was the first time I tried the salt weathering technique as well as using oils for weathering. The kit was built mostly straight from the box with a few added scratch built details and a ready panel from...

A bit of help requested! In mid 1943 the LW had the white tails and white rudders for leaders. Many were well-adorned with victory claim/kill markings and often Knights Cross decoration. I know the tall tails were coming into service with the Bf109G-5/AS and Bf109G-6/AS end of 1943/early 1944...

Hi I recently purchased the Revell 1/48 B-17G kit and am intending to paint and mark it up as close to Mi Amigo as possible. The serial number for this craft was 42/31322 (Oct 1943), and it arrived in Chelveston in late January 1944. Unfortunately this aircraft crash landed in a local park in...
