BoB GB 109E questions....

You guys have noticed that the fuselage cross on that 9./JG 54 machine is well worn? Ought to be interseting how ya'll do that! At 1/32 scale!!!
 
Yeah, look at the first pic from the right side of the plane from the tail. The balkenkruez definately has some wear in the middle of it.
 
I couldn't really tell one way or the other. But now you guys got me thinking about doing a '13'. I have a 1/48 , 1/32 and a 1/24 Bf 109E but without an airbrush the painting of large surfaces will be daunting. WTH, I've got a few months!
 
Got this set for the BoB GB later this year. Thinking of getting Bar's 'White 13' too, most likely in the shape of Academy's new 1/48 E-3, which comes with his markings in the box, from Cartograf.....

Some here might say that there are no options..... I like the camouflage on the 'Black 13'. 8)

Keep going back to the JG54 and their 'Emils'. Was this camouflage used during the BoB? If that's the case, it gives me another possibilty to consider of the '109's....

Well, JG54 were known for having a number of different schemes, although whether this was 'their' interpretation of orders, or official experiement is not clear. By the latter part of the BoB, and certainly after the 'official' end (31 Oct 1940), the scheme shown was being introduced, and later formed the basis of the 'snake skin' scheme seen on the 109E's and later the 109F's, in Russia.
