Title: Guesses for the colors of the upcomming fighters
Post by: Karnak on January 14, 2002, 02:27:02 AM

Here are my guesses:

Spitfire MkIa:  Adolf 'Sailor' Malan's colors

Hurricane MkI: Robert Stanford Tuck's colors

Bf109E: Werner Molder's colors

Bf110C:  I have no idea

I hear the "sissyfire" will be pink with nice blue flowers.  Sorry Karnak had to do it. Sorry. :)

BTW some desert spits were pink IIRC.

PR Spits were a powder blue color.

PR blue is a great color for high alt work I like it, it's a good solid dark color.

I would rather see the 109E in Wick's markings than Molder's.   Oh well, I will be happy either way, and it isn't my call to make anyways.

I dont care as long as it has a yellow nose, the 109E must have a yellow nose!

I have it from a good source that it's Corinthian for the 109 :)

I agree Wicks would be better.
very early PR spits were pink.

Here's my guesses/wishes:

Spitfire Mk.I: Colin Falkland Gray's plane

Hurricane Mk.I: Douglas Bader's plane. There's great pics of this paint scheme in the Fly Past january issue worn by restored Sea Hurricane Mk.X. I know HTC doesn't usually put personal markings on AH planes but that big flying boot kicking Hitler on the butt sure looks cool. :) It's right in the place where squad logo will probably be though...
(I'd be more motivated to shoot Hurri1 down if it had red stars tough. :D)

Bf-109E: Hans von Hahn's plane

Bf-110C: One of the ZG 1 Wespen Geschwader planes. Again, cool nose art!

It should therefore be Adolph Gallands AC, JG26. He created alot of widows in this AC

yep.
isn't that that the marking for a squad leader?(don't ask me to spell it in german :D )
and that looks like a little mickey mouse below the cockpit, so maybe Galland?

how bout this one for the spit?
Sailor Malan

GruppenKommandeur (or something like that)- but yes I think that is Galland's plane because it is the StaffelKapitan plane and it appears to be the MIckey Mouse you described. However, there is another black and white figure another pilot had- but since this is the lead plane I thin you are right with Galland.

First one is Gallands from BOB the second one is also Jg26 but from Sicily and flown by Jochen Muncheburg during 7/jg26s short but spectacular trip south.
Nice picture.
