Sweet.  Larry I know my noob is showing here but I don't run the High Res pack, if you got a minute sometime could you export the 109f for me and throw it up on rapidshare or some such.

Yellow 1 of 10/JG2.  Caught my eye as it has the white rudder, but rather than kill bars it has ships to represent shipping sunk in the channel.

Sounds interesting...I can't find a picture of it, do you have one that you could throw up here by chance?

LoLz, that be it.  Interesting, the books show it as Yellow 1 with white rudder, everything online shows it as Blue 1 with a yellow rudder.

There are a few sources that show it as blue 1, and some that show it with a yellow rudder.

I have some scans of black and white photos of the kill bars on the rudder as well as this or another plane in the same gruppe.

The rudder most definitely looks white. There is no difference in the shades used on the black-and-white kill bars vs the rudder itself. All references show black and white kill markings, even on yellow rudders. Not black outlines with yellow rudder showing through. Always white. Thus the rudder almost certainly is also white.

As for the blue markings -- I tend to lean more towards yellow markings. Going by the other shades of grey in the black-and-white photos it doesn't appear likely to be blue.

So, using the many conflicting online references as well as a number of scans from some nice books I found at the local library (purely on accident! It was quite refreshing to turn the page and get a nice close-up of the killboard I was working on!) I came up with the best representation.

I do believe the "1" was yellow, and that the rudder was white, hence, why I skinned it this way.


Just a history of the research I put into this skin.
