Hello

I wonder if someone could help me. I want to built 3 Me Bf109 F in flight formation in 1942 in France.
The scale is 1/72 and I have the italeri kit, number 053 to do so. The problem is, in the research I found that the markings are wrong and instead of yellow should be blue. The tail color is wrong too, should be yellow instead of white. Is this right?
The problem is the markings for the other 2 planes, can someone help in telling me how the markings were applied to planes in the same formation?

Found very contradictory scale drawings on the web.

Sorry for the long text and thanks for the help.

A couple of places to get accurate 1/72 decals for JG 2 Jabo's.

Thanks Brian, that means that the decals for Jabo JG2 in France are indeed blue, now how about the serial numbers and markings for the 2 other planes? I probably could get away with making my own stencils or decals, but I have now idea what to put on the other 2 planes regarding markings. I already have the markings of the fox with the ship (the unit badge) for the 3 planes, just wondering what number or marking to put there....

Howdy,

Mixed in with the pics of Fw-190's is Bf-109F-4 "Blau 11" with markings similar to "Blau 1". I imagine other planes would be similarily marked with other "Blau" numbers.

Here are some pics of my 1/48 Hasegawa Bf-109F-4B with MSAP decals and a Hobbycraft bomb.
