JG2 Richthofen squadron logos for all you painters!
 

Hey fellow painters,


I made all of these JG2 logos and I figure you guys can put them to good use. I would like to ask if anyone can tell me if I have all of them in the right gruppe?

Oh and the '1/JG2' Dog logo was re-created directly off of an aircraft photo! and so was the personal insgnia of Oblt Hermann 'White 9'.



Enjoy!


I'll releasing all of JG3 'Udet' tomorrow.

Wooooow!!! Superb! :grin::grin::grin:

Not quite.

1./JG 2 - correct (for 1940)
2./JG 2 - did not have a Staffel emblem, only displayed the Geschwader emblem
3./JG 2 - that blue triangle with the "Horrido" inscription and the sword is correct (for 1940)
What you have for 3./JG 2 was the Gruppe badge of III./JG 2 from 1941 on. by then most Staffel emblems were a thing of the past.

4., 5. and 6./JG 2 - no emblems beyond the Geschwader emblem
The emblem you depict as 6./JG 2 may be a personal or much later emblem. The emblem you assign to 4./JG 2 belongs in fact to 7./JG 2.

Your III. Gruppe emblems (apart from the "Thumb presses hat" badge of 7./JG 2) are correct, also with variations. However what you have as IV. Gruppe is a mix of various things which weren't used at the same time, for long or even at all.

10./JG2 was a semi-autonomous fighter-bomber Staffel - your emblem fits for that one - but it did not come into being before 1941. At that time the three other emblems, all of which were short-lived as the IV.(N)/JG 2 of early 1940, were long out of use. It's even questionable if any were used outside of propaganda shots.

Very nice SPEKTRE! Many thanks, and please keep them coming.

Wow man thank you for all of thgis great info. I have been searching high and low. I will correct them today. As far as the 'Horrido Sword' is the red one the right one for after 1940 or is there a new logo entirely? Thank's again man! :)

Oh the chicken head was used on Fw-190's, so yeah not correct for this game but maybe for the upcoming Battle of Stalingrad?

Most of the Staffel emblems of 1940 disappeared in 1941 or 1942, apart from 7./JG 2 and maybe 9./JG 2 only the Gruppen/Geschwader emblems remained. I've never seen the red triangle at all ... I guess it comes from a faulty interpretation of a b/w photo.

The emblem of III./JG 2 was used on the Bf 109 and Fw 190, but since the unit was in the west and never ventured to Russia it doesn't have a place at Stalingrad. ;)

Maybe the chicken will fly in "IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of the Ruhr"? :-P

Thanks for the hard work. They are very good.
It's a shame some of the detail will diappear in the finished skins due to the resolution and size of those smaller emblems.
