Bf 109 K-4 in full colour

Chriss1958 · Aug 31, 2008

Yep as far as can be told, an original picture, a Bf 109K-4 in colour taken by a GI at the back-end or after WW2. Amazing picture. Attributed to 9./JG 3.

For a discussion of it go here to the very excellent LEMB site: Identity of this colour Bf109K? - Luftwaffe Experten Message Board

Sweet that a great Picture

although as discussed on LEMB as a possibility due to camo of other JG 3 staffels it may not be a JG 3 craft at all...............then again. Sadly not many photos of 9./JG 3 machines exist...............yet

That's one great picture!

Great picture! Its exactly the sort of picture I like to see.

I think I'll post a couple more obscure Me-109 pictures in colour since we're at it.

Here are my favourites. All from Falcon's Messerschmitt Bf 109 Hangar

Apparently the first two are Italian.

Erich, is the last image a nightfighter, judging from the camouflage?

Wurger · Sep 5, 2008

Very nice pics.

Hurts to see such a sweet bird wrecked...

Indeed... I believe not a single Bf-109 K survives these days.

I doubt it very much, looks painted over in non standard colours ...

I doubt it very much. I'm sure Erich will have some more info though!

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

hard to say guys it could be just ground concealmnt colours or as Wayne said painted post war as the markings are fake and added on.

most late war s/e nf's were painted in regular day time camo
