Hello. I am trying to find out what the most consistent paint colors were for the Bf109s defending Weiner Nusdadt in 1944? Anyone help with this?

I understand. I will have to do some research. I am assembling a model in correlation to my grandfather's stories about his missions over Ploesti, Weiner Neustadt and other locations in Italy and Germany. He was 15AAF, 99thBG and 416BS, but not sure what German squadrons defended these areas. He had encounters with 109s, 190s and 262s.Best if you could narrow down what unit you are asking about as there were several that covered this area.
Unfortunately I do not. I have his mission lists with crew, plane/s, target/s and date/s. However I do have a copy of the book "The Diamond Backs" and will see if it has anything about LW units.Me 410's also were used in this area. Do you have his log book? It would be possible to match operations of particular LW units based on known dates.
This is great! I will put a copy of this with collection! My grandfather said this was a difficult target because the Germans used smoke screens, which made visibility difficult.
