thanks Wojtek/David
despite everyones best efforts i got the RLM70 on
you can just about see the splinter cammo !

 

[Airframes]

Neat work mate, and just as 70/71 should be - blending into an apparent single colour.; one of the reasons the 70 was changed to 02, for a better disruptive effect.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice!

 

[Jayl]

Nice job, paint looks clean.

 

[T Bolt]

Looking good Karl!

Looking good Karl.....BUT....shouldn't the camo be 71/02? rather than 71/70....

i hope it is 70/71 i thought i'd checked that with you a while ago most of the profiles i've seen show 71/70 i'm going to have to check now B******S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Airframes]

Not sure about Wick's kite without checking, but some aircraft still had the 70/71 on the wings, whilst the spine and tail planes were re-painted with 02, and others still retained the 70/71 on all upper surfaces, but with the high RLM65, and then mottle where applicable. In B&W pics the 'give away' is normally the 'old' splinter pattern on the main planes.
The other '109 I hope to get started, from JG54, has the 'old' colours on the wings, but the 'new' colours elsewhere, as an example of one particular aircraft.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

She's looking stunning Karl
