I'm in the middle of assembling a 109G-6 cockpit. I have many photos of the control panel of a 109G (mostly from the one in Duxford), but none that show the trim adjustment wheels. Can anyone tell me what color these were? Also, I'd be very interested in any picuters of the left hand side of the cockpit walls, showing the throttle quadrant, etc. Thanks.

Hi there Part-timer

The trim-wheel would be painted RLM 66 on the Bf 109G. Be very wary of the colours in Bytepilot's first link - The Hartmann restoration - a great deal of artistic licence has been taken in painting the interior.

All the best

Yes, the blue-grey interior with lots of bright yellow trim is quite attractive, but I understand it's also fairly fictional.
