Trying to find some info Karl.... Heres a shot of a III./JG27 kite, whose colors are listed as 81/82/76 with RLM25 band....


Found another profile of a 12.III/JG 27 crate that shows 81/83/76...

Les, German for Operation is 'Unternehmen'.

I've decided to do a 1/48 Me 410 B-1/U2/R4 by Pro Modeler/Revell-Monogram. Major Eduard Tratt of II./ZG 26 will be the subject (have to get some Zerstorer Reichs Defense in here!) about Feb 1944 when I belive he was killed.

Some questions:

Does anyone have any solid info on the matkings of his crate other than what is provided in the kit? I believe there was some question as to whether they retained the white Med bands while in Germany.

And can I suggest another category: "Totally Out of My League and My Mind."

And can I suggest another category: "Totally Out of My League and My Mind."

Then I'd also suggest "What the h*ll was I thinking?" Looking forward to see the progress on this one mate!

OK Chris, thanks for gettin that word covered... Doesnt matter much that Unternehman Luftbrücke means Undertake Air Bridge.... That will be the new name for the new thread that I'll get going.....

 

[Njaco]

Can I make another suggestion if it hasn't been covered?

Entrants who will be posting progress pics start a thread with the title "Njacos Group Build" or something similar and the first post should include all particulars, i.e, Category, scale type and possible a pic of the project at the start of the build - like a pic of the box and packaged parts or a pic of the half completed model. Might make it easier on the judges.

Good idea Chris....

Thanks chris! that sounds like the category for me, Jan's coming in a close second!

Now I'm stuck!!!

on one site I found this......

"He recorded his 38th, and last, victory, another B-17, on 20 February 1944. Tratt was shot down and killed with his Bordschützen Ofw. Gillert in combat near Nordhausen in the Harz mountains on 22 February 1944, flying Me 410 A-1 (W.Nr. 420 410) "3U + Blue 1"."

but in the kit and web it says Tratt flew a 410 B-1/U2/R4 that last day. Anybody have any definate info?
