John1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is that an authentic color pic? Something about it just looks a bit "off". If so, I suppose that's a great illustration of 81/82. 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well done Rob. Nice picture of three different greens there including the black green spinner /prop and the 81 & 82 combination. The size comparison to that of He-111 is also amazing behind the Do-335. Padraic Conway and D.B. Andrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly my thought too there Troy - the black/green prop and spinner really contrasts with the other colours on the Do335 in the picture. Also with the He111s in the background, which can reasonably be assumed to be painted in the older greens. In addition, the under surfaces are very pale; too much in my view to be 65, so a little more evidence for 76/81/82 on this airframe. Edited January 22, 2019 by Padraic Conway D.B.

Troy Molitor Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m still checking in on that last picture sent in by RBrown. I know I have a few reference pictures to follow up on this great topic somewhere but those 81/82 color combinations really pop out at you. There was a Bf 109K-4 color picture of “Gigi” Weiss “8” that was pretty spectacular I recall recently. Good topic for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Great pictures. I’ve seen them all before but they still amaze me how they pop up in color once in a while. Thanks for sharing. Troy D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible take (but just that, possible...) Buff/light brown/cream undersurfaces Very faded 81 Braunviolett under the cockpit with the Gigi name on Is that another Brown shade behind the cockpit? Or a faded dark green (allowing for some colour shift within the print which seems to have happened over the years - )? Cowling? 81 behind the spinner but some darker green behind this and in front of the cockpit. Could even be RLM66 black/grey when compared to the canopy framework... Tail has dark green spots on a grey? background with apparently blue/white 76 underneath Your take may vary. Mine probably will the next time I look at this picture! D.B.
