Our Ju-88 A4 is from KG-51 Edelweiss, but it looks like the Staffel call code is off. Using this here page (http://village.vossnet.co.uk/t/toles/unitid.htm) I found out the 9K marking stands for KG-51. I raided good old LRG at this page (http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/markings.html) and discovered the red T marking might be off. In english now: our Ju-88 has the call code 9K+TN. The 9K stands for KG-51, while the TN should give the Gruppe and Staffel numbers. At the above LRG page I found there isn't any unit marking with a red T. There's a yellow T, a red N, but not a red T. Could be a minor SNAFU, which is why I'm posting.
Note: on the LRG page you have to scroll down about half-way to find the call code chart.

I must say, it's a very dull scheme. They could have chosen one with some more colour on it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Juzz, I was kinda hoping for a nice tie-dyed paint job with some pink flowers on it. It would fit with my newest nose art "I am death, who wants some?". Just a minor SNAFU that I got a good laugh out of. Think about it; they spent all this time on flight models, gunnery, new aircraft, ships, outstanding view system, and they accidently paint a Ju-88 with the wrong call code! LOL I guess even the Almighty Old God Pyro misses something now and then! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm gonna go out there and remove one of His creations from this universe.
And when I get back I'm gonna drink a bottle of Scotch like it was Chiggy von Richthofen's blood and celebrate his death."
