This skin is an adoption of Krusty's 5./JG 54 skin, of which I could not find reference that included the yellow cowling, so I replaced it with a JG 54 aircraft that is know to have a similar layout of yellow markings to his original skin.
Bf 109F-1 flown by Hannes Trautloft, Kommodore of JG 54. Siverskaya, Russia. Autumn 1941.
The F-1 model was nearly identical to the F-2 but it used a drum fed MG FF cannon firing through the propeller hub rather than the newer MG 151 that became the standard. The Geschwader stab of JG 54 used a field applied camouflage scheme of RLM 70 black green and a brown darker than the RLM 79 sand yellow often seen depicted with this scheme. Yellow cowling, fuselage, and wing tips served as IFF markings. A green heart was painted on the fuselage. This marking originated as Trautloft's personal emblem as far back as his service in the Condor Legion. The emblem references Trautloft's home district of Thuringia, a heavily forested region in central Germany referred to as the "green heart of Germany". In December 1941, the emblem would become the emblem for all JG 54 and begin to be painted on all of its planes.
