I just wanna ask which colors was used by the BF-109E3/4 during the battle of Britain. Was it with the yellow nose?

Hi Shonen
Their was a lot of variation in Bf109 camouflage during the Battle of Britain. Units often experimented with their own schemes, and Adolf Galland was apparently nearly shot down by his own side on several occasions, because of confusion over his camouflage experiments!
There's a great article on the 109 Lair, which outlines Luftwaffe camouflage during this period in much better detail than I can hope to.
Hope this helps
