GB 23 Winter War Eastern Front WWII-Allied or Axis

109's rule!

27 and counting. A very popular subject and the surface has just been scratched as to the possibilities.

Loads of fun watching the builds continue.

Cheers,

Jeff

Nearing the end of my I-16 build and I'm looking for a photo of the port side of a JG.3 109F, "Yellow 8". I have a book that shows both sides but it is buried deep somewhere. I like the odd camo scheme and have decals for "Yellow 4" but as Sergio is doing it, I thought I would do another number.

George can do for my "4 yellow", mine with what I have at hand not last so if you give me time to finish it for this GB and I can change and make another plane.

so I read the plane was painted to be sent to Italy for RLM79 and RLM76 but changing needs on the Eastern Front were sent to the Russian front, where there I will apply the camouflage with RLM74 / 75

All is good Sergio. I have another decal sheet that has an F-2 in white wash over camo that I am going to do. I have started a thread in GB23.

I look forward to joining you guys in the next day or two, now that my Bv222 is almost done....

So do we!

Okay! Again thanks for these, had not found them in 8 years????? of searching off and on.
Now GB55!!!!!!!! is on the Horizon and I have another chance to build a G.G.Davidson 126 Sqn Spitfire
or whatthehell ever Sqn I may find.

He was posted to 412 Sqn at Digby in Autumn 1941 through to approx. September, 1942.
During this period he made several claims on the following dates.
18-5-42 1/2 -Ju88 damaged shared with P/O RA Ellis on a 'Jim Crow' shipping recce.
26-7-42 1 - Fw190 probable on Rodeo 81.
19-8-42 - Flew in Spitfire Vb, BL589 on the Dieppe Raid..
1-8-42 1 -Fw190 destroyed & 1 - Fw190 damaged on an Interception patrol.

Transferring he was only in 126 Sqn from 6th Sept, 1942 until his untimely death over Sicily 15 Nov, 1942........ 2 months!
I think his regular mount was EP310 and it was mfd Lot#038, Ser's EP275 thru EP316, Qty 42, Contract# B981687/39, at CB

So I am needing to find camo scheme for Mk.VbT EP310, 126 Sqn, Malta, 1942
or even JK611/MK-M and JK522/MK-O as in Lucky13's reply.
I am seeing conflicting combinations of Ocean Gray / Dark Green overMed Sea Gray .......or..... standard Dark Earth/Mid Stone over Azure Blue.
Can anyone enlighten me??????? Pullease!
