Hi all out there. Looking for the colour scheme a specific Ju-88 A4 would have worn when destroyed by 85 Sq Havocs on 12-13th August 1942.
What I know so far:
Werk No. = 5804 ; Unit = 6/KG54 (Totenkopf) ; Code = B3 + SP ; Arrived at Beauvais (from the Eastern Front) on 8-9th July 1942.
Help needed to identify the scheme she wore:
Upper surfaces: Splinter pattern RLM 70 & 71 ?
Lower surfaces: RLM 65?
Codes: B = Black ; 3 = Black ; S = Yellow ; P = Black (were they solid or outlined in white?)
Rear fuselage 'theatre' band: Did it have one and what colour? Was it yellow from the Eastern Front?
Wing tips: Were they painted and if so, yellow to match the theatre band?
Cowlings: As per wing-tips?
Unit badge; Yellow Totenkopf?
Spinners: Yellow (unit colours) and entire or a coloured ring?
This aircraft crash site is only a few miles from home and I'm looking to replicate the aircraft in scale for a bit of local history/interest.
A newby to identifying specific aircraft details so hoping all you clued-up sleuths out there can help.
THANK YOU
