I am an aviation artist. I am starting a project from a story that comes from a B-17 tail gunner. He is credited with shooting down two aircraft on one mission. The first was a FW 190, the second a BF109. He says that the 109 had a red and yellow checkerboard pattern from the nose to the canopy. I thought perhaps this was a personal paint job since I have never seen this before. I am a stickler for accuracy in my artwork, and this one's really bothering me because I don't want to get it wrong. Has anyone ever come across aBF109 with a paint job that matches that description and if so, can you guide me to a picture or very good description of it. The tail gunner didn't remember very many details, only what I have included here.
Thank you
