hi , yesterday i was researching for one of my next projects on the internet.And that's when i found a strabge pic. on a site ( lost the site unfortunatly )
It was an Messerschmitt Bf 109(don't know the version) with a black circle in stead of the german cross...there are no other marks visible..? Does anybody have some intel on this airplane?Maybe some more pictures, this could be a nice futere project.

Another question Does any of you hav a complete camouflage pattern guide for the Bf 109 (all versions)
1939-1945? It would be a great help.

It is possible that, if you can't see any other markings, that this circle is in actual fact behind the fuselage cross. If it is then I would guess it is actually a particularly rare IV Gruppe marking?

If not as Mal (Holdfast) says,"a particularly rare IV Gruppe marking". Is the circle filled in, solid black ? Could be a Condor Legion (Spanish Civil War) marking.
