Cap'n V,

Dunno if you visit the Luftwaffe Experten (Luftwaffe Experten Message Board) message boards but they have a whole section on captured airframes (going in both directions). The following link is for the MB155 and has a number of pics that should answer the mail for you:

What an amazing aircraft. Such a pity one does not exist today.

Notice the nose of a Marcel Bloch MB 155 French fighter on the left of the first picture in post #572? Anybody know if there is a complete picture of that bird?

The 109s look good with the British markings.

LOL! I was about to say the exact opposite!

Similar to seeing a P47 or Spitfire in German markings...just can't get used to it.

that I sacrificed one of the 21st Century kits to model it !

I like that Steve. I've got a lot of decals for capture Luftwaffe aircraft.

I cobbled those together from the spares box and masked the yellow P

Any thoughts on the stripes, recognition for friendlies? I don't think I've seen those on captured aircraft or maybe just didn't pay attention.

They must be a recognition marking. They don't match the 'Distinctive Markings' or invasion stripes for Overlord, and neither do they match the sort of stripes applied to Typhoons. I think they are a 'two off' applied to the two G-14s captured in Holland.
The model is a Bf109G-14/U4. It was one of the two found dismantled at Gilze-Rijen by British Forces. They were assembled at Antwerp-Deurne where I suspect the picture above was taken. This one was originally W.Nr.413598 built by the Erla works near Leipzig.
I've shown it marked with a P. In early February 1945 both aircraft were sent to Hawkinge. On the 7th of April 1945 this one was given the serial number VD358 and on 26 April it went on to Tangmere as part of the Enemy Aircraft Flight. Marked as EA*2 it formed part of a post war exhibition of captured materiel on Horse Guards Parade.
It seems, like many others, it was scrapped shortly thereafter.
Cheers
Steve
