I have just bought Illiad's new 1/48 scale decals, which contain the markings for Schnaufer's Bf110E night fighter G9 + LN
I actually intend to use them on a Bf110C as some years ago, and I cannot rememberfrom where - except it was a Japanese web site, i saw the same markings for a Bf110C identified as being Schnaufer's.
Can anyone heklp me to confirm - or otherwise - I can use these markings on a Bf110c nighfoghter.
I haven't found any pic of Schnaufer's kite so far. But I found these two profiles via the net. Both profiles present the Bf 110C G9+LN, 5./NJG 1, St Trond, Summer 1942.
Yep, that's his 'G', or one of them. I think I have a pic purporting to be his 'C'. Problem is, the book is on a very low shelf, and I'm too stiff to bend to reach it at the moment!
Concerning these pics above... The first one ...It is Schnaufer's Bf110G when he was the Staffelkapitän of 12./NJG at St. Trond in February 1944.The pic was taken after he had scored his 47 victory.
The second pic shows Schnaufer's Bf 110G Schleswig, Germany. 19 June 1945 - believing in our fine member FalkeEins' blog...
