Roachie are you wanting to do an A-8 or A-9 ?
Wayne has done my cousins white 2 A-9 and think he is working on 5th staffel C.O. machine right now.
let me look again on the colours as I always screw them up in my head. most of the time a black number would indicate a Stab machine within I. and II. gruppe. III. gruppe/JG 301 black numerals would indicate an A-8 or A-8/R2 of 12./JG 301
the engine venting is different and more cyclinders, ask Wayne on specs. why not keep it an un-armored A-8/R2 and do one of the III schwere gruppe/JG 301 birds ?
9th = white numbers
10th = red
11th = yellow
12th = black
they all had a mix of plain A-8's and R2's, but the Sturm like heavies did not have the extra armor plus the cowling mg 131's were left in place.
