kg (j) 27?

[von hahn]

Hi all,

I am building a BF109G-10, yellow 2, of a unit called KG(J) 27, which I cannot find any information on.

Does anybody have info on this unit,where it was based etc, or perhaps photos of their Aircraft or pilots?

Thank you so much!

I believe KG(J)27 was formed late in the war. Heres a site that has some info:

Kampfgeschwader 27

Redesignated KG (J) 27 on 23.11.44.

Looks like the usual desperate attempt to turn bomber pilots into fighter pilots...
