Thats what we're here for!
I've been collecting pics of Moelders and Hartmann's machines as well - will start those threads soon.
I continue my study of Gallands 109's either 5966 had a repaint?? or there is another as yet unidentified E flown by Galland that had a number of images taken that is confusing the process of which aircraft is which....5819 or 5966 or ????
There are some distinctly different camo patterns but one thing I am taking for granted at this time, is that the Schlageter badges were NOT painted over in a repaint or repaints, and there are 3 different badges that fit within the primary aircraft's (5819) time frame of use....more discussion to come!!
Thank you Wayne for this post: I agree with you, we have to stay focused on this thread, exchanging studies and opinions, the most important things.
Just to start, please refer to my latest posts; I tried to give you my following opinions:
1- 5819 at the begin had not the telescope neither the mouse badge; they were added later, probably in October.
2- The telescope was never removed as was the mouse badge.
3- I think when 5819 was repainted at the begin of 1941, for some unknow reasons the stencil under the oil filler cap was changed: it was triangular then circular (black or red?); I suspect when this was done it was necessary to repaint the area near this stencil and this is why the JG26's has to be changed and repainted smaller. If necessary I may arrange a photographic study to support this.
Please everybody wants to contribute to this discussion fell free to post!
Thank you

Please go ahead with your image study, Flavio...I just wish all images could be dated to give us an orderly progression!
Flavio, the second to last shot in the post above...where does that come from? I haven't seen that one before.

The picture cames from Revi magazine n°76/2009.
Please Wayne I am interested to your opinion about what I wrote in my previous posts.
Thanks, Flavio
Does the Revi magazine have an article on Galland?
I am currently reviewing your comments and comparing data and images.....
Yes ... it is interesting and it is also Copy Protected for sooth
To be honest, it looks an awful lot like a large coiled yellow sausage
Anyone else any ideas ?
I believe its to hide the swastika.
yeah, pobably. Most likely the pic came from a collector site or ebay and they do things like that.
