A very attractive scheme was carried by Bf 109E-3 White '15', with which Uffz. Karl Wolff crashed on landing on August 30, 1940. It carried the standard scheme of RLM 02/71/65, and the light blue 65 extended up the fuselage sides. The light blue, which also wrapped around the leading edges of the wings, was subdued with overspray of colors used on the upper surfaces. Furthermore, the aircraft received white paint on surfaces such as the nose, rudder and wingtips, used first and foremost as quick identification features. The I. Gruppe JG 52 unit emblem appeared on the nose of the plane. A month after his hard landing in White '15', Uffz. Wolff was shot down and taken prisoner. Jagdgeschwader 52 became the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter unit mainly due to its operations over the Eastern Front. However, its successes began during the Battle of France, and later, the Battle of Britain. By the end of 1940, the unit's pilots had already racked up 177 kills. On the other hand, losses were quite high as well. Just during the Battle of Britain, the unit lost 53 pilots. The unit was also odd in that its equipment over the course of the war was composed exclusively of Bf 109s.
The pilot lost a lot of aircraft in the war, switching from yellow nose to white nose to white nose with white tips back to yellow nose. There is a lot of history on this pilot alone, wasn't very hard to find information on him either.
This is a 109E3 skin, but similar to the E4 so I figured I would try it.

Your cammo paint work has improved greatly. Your panel lines and shading are too bold, IMHO.
Also, it looks like you were given some templates from Kazan - you should give credit where due.
Regardless, this is much better than your last Emil.

A white nosed 109? :confused:
Never seen one of those before but I like it! :aok

Looks nice!

Based off of the photos I think your nose is a little to dirty or just not white enough.
Good choice though :aok

I did this 109 completely by myself, Kazan didn't help at all so I don't see where credit to him is required.

My mistake, looking at Kazan's Emil a second time, I did spot some a couple differences. Sorry for the accusation. :cheers:
