Hi Daniel

what do you want to know?

There is a picture of that machine in the instructiuons of the decal sheet. It is the only published pic I remember (it is also in Prien/Rodeike, Bf 109 F,G,K series, Schiffer, pg.126 .... IIRC also in one of the da.. Osprey AoA booklets)

best wishes

Hi Steffen,

basically what I want to know is how the camo is on the wings.I don't have a pic of the wings and need to know.If someone could help me out that would be great.

Hi Daniel

why don't you trust Mr. Crandell .. his poducts are not free of errors (who is) but generally very well researched.

The picture (left side) does not show the "zigzag" or sawtoth pattern so I would go with the standard pattern (or as per decal or kit instructions ). The left wing is correct in the decal instructions and the other cannot be seen. if you run into such problems often (well, assuming you are a LW fan), you should buy the 2 Vol. Luftwaffe camouflage and markings 1933-45 by Kenneth A. Merick. There is much about methods and standards in this work ...

I must say, I do not understand your problem ... only in very rare cases you will have a machine fully covered with photos in 6 side view .. if you gat a nice 8 o'clock shot as this one you can be quite happy .. often you must approximate much out of several close up pix.

best wishes

Steffen

The thing I just needed was some help on how the camo was on the wings.I already got my answer from another forum.I don't have the instruction sheet because I got it as a partial.That was my only problem.Was the wings.Nothing else.Thanks again though for your help.

Hi Daniel

O.k. I see ... you should have written that in your first post ... I would have spared you any bg info and just posted that instruction part

I am glad you got the right information ... Anthony's model is great, isn't it :-) :-) :-)

best wishes
