And here's maybe the worlds ugliest winter camouflage!:D

This is Bf 109 F4 of a 8/JG 5 "black 4" (it is now "black 8", because HTC's 109 F4 has mirrored fuselage and number 4 is not nice looking upside down...). In the photo it is flipped over at Petsamo on 21 March 1943. The pilot was Ofw. Karl Schulz.
