Bf 109F-4 Hans 'Assi" Hans Jg 2

[Devil 505]

Bf 109F-2 flown by Hans "Assi" Hahn, the commander of Jg 2's Third Gruppe in July 1941. This is Hahn's first 109F and features an unusual red painted upper cowling and rudder. The rudder has 31 victory marks in black.

Oh man that's cool!  The red is breaking my brain, it keeps trying to see yellow

Hi Paul,
 Assi Hahn responded to this same question I asked him in June 1968. His answer was, " No, The cowling color on my Bf 109 was never red or orange but yellow and the camouflage color was blue-gray."
 Cheers, Jerry

Looks so good devil.

Great looking skin, Devil!   I expect to see a lot of that one in the MA.

[Vraciu]

Great job.  I have his 109 painting on my wall.  He had it rough when in the gulag.   

[Greebo]

Its a great looking skin Devil. But given Krusty's references in that thread what is the evidence that the nose and tail were red?

[Vraciu]

Reminds me of Hermann Graf's 109.   Assi Hahn was pretty brutal toward that guy in his book.

You guys really should have checked your calendars. 

April Fools!

Here's the real skin with a yellow cowling and rudder:







I was telling a squaddie yesterday about the skins I had just finished and reflecting on Vraciu's P-51 when the idea to make a prank version hit me.

What did he say?

I can't imagine that Hahn would have ever crossed paths with Graf during the war.

Ummmm....

Artist rendition in what looks like MS Paint. I would not put a ton of stock in paintings as people notoriously get things wrong or continue misinformation.

Yellow nose was a AAA IFF marking common on the Eastern Front. Not too many guys were flashy like Graf.
