Fury, I found this one, it is curious, it seems to have 02 and 76 repainted or the other way, it is a fact that other light color was used instead of 02 for landing struts, I believe you won't find any document referring to that specification but the photographical evidence is quite clear, those pictures of the captured 109 are not Agfa by the way, to me, clearly, Steinhoff landing struts had 76 paint, that's all I can advice you, I think I have provide enough evidence... but as Mozart said it is your model cheers

I suspect the answer is the manufacturer producer, in this case WNF (Wiener Neustädter Flugzeugwerke - a factory near Vienna) , some examples my take on this Emil

very nice Gazzas, this gets very interesting right now, enjoy the paint and weathering phase mate! cheers

wow, very nice project, the use of 3D technology makes this build very interesting, following it with enthusiasm, good luck mate! cheers

Hi Fury, there is no color variation on the gear doors and the landing struts because both are 76, the images I'm posting are true original color, I have done my homework on that , there are many pictures showing this, I can post some more examples and relics if you want this is an Emil captured by the RAF landing gear not painted though Friederichs this Emil unrestored at Chino

Looking very good that cowling Fury, I know you are still working on the camo but just notice that the landing struts were painting in RLM 76 instead of 02 in this plane, keep the good, cheers

true, sorry I did not read your statement! keep the good, cheers

looking great Fury, taking a closer look at the yellow wing tips, seems that they go further into the ailerons and slats area, keep the good, cheers

that's a beauty, your work is exceptional John, we enjoy your builds cheers

maybe this? cheers

Hi Nick, I have not the pleasure to see that relic in person yet, but sure looks very dark indeed! seems like early 66 was quite dark, I have these relics, from a bf109F windshield and I dissemble the inner parts that were sandwiched and showed 66 that never saw the light since 1941 and it is indeed very dark almost black Here is a comparison with a Ju88 cockpit part in 66 too I used Nix color sensor to measure the shade: cheers

what you mean? your build was going on the right direction! cheers

I've never heard about that, all McArthur models had those 2 holes on the backrest to clip cushion seats, here is "Frenesi" a D-5 with a cushion seat, but up to you mate, cheers

fantastic work, the quinta IP looks fantastic and also Barracudas goodies, one advice with the wiring from the SCR daio set, better to make your own, it is too thick and will interfere with the armour seat, here so reference, are you adding a cushion to the seat? cheers

Fantastic subject John great attention to detail and accurate corrections to backdate to a D-5 model, looking forward this build, gotta love ponies! cheers

Hi Furie, this Emil existed indeed, I recommend you the excellent book from Jerry Crandall, there is a picture from this aircraft in it cheers

looking fantastic, one tip though, the flap angle bar stencil should be placed in the inner side of the flap as a visual reference for the pilot of its deployment, cheers

great cockpit, one tip though , the control column is in reverse position, cheers

great progress, one tip though, better fill up that panel line since it does not exist on the real aircraft, cheers

the bigger panel under the wing also had a rivet pattern, cheers

the belly panel had a particular rivet pattern

that drawing plan is missing rivets , check this pic of the under wing, cheers

wow, interesting scheme, that cockpit looks wonderful, sure we will enjoy this build, cheers
