Hi Folks
Just saw a beautiful model from here.

I am curious , did the yellow 10 have any wartime photos exist?

 

[Wayne Little]

[Wayne Little]

Wow~ Thank you so much.
The engine cowling was not yellow.

 

[Wayne Little]

Actually...I think the cowling may have been Yellow....I have found another better image of the right hand photo above and the cowling certainly looks yellow.

Good one Wayne. Note also the odd placement of what looks like the octane stancil under the dangling seatbelt.

 

[Wayne Little]

Not odd Andy, as an F-2 it was using c3 fuel and this was the location for the access ...

Thanks, Wayne! I should have maybe dug deeper but was too lazy/

The stencil doesn't show up in the profile so Pikas may want to take note.

Hi Wayne
One picture in Jagdwaffe series Vol 4 Section 1, I can found some dark colour on the top of engine cowling.
In another picture, it is invisible, maybe due to the light.
It is hardly to say what colour it was.
