Three more JG26 Emils uploaded! Regarding the colors, it's known that JG26 experimented with different grey colors, III./JG26 aircraft can be seen in colorphotos having been painted in various greys. It's off course impossible to tell exactly which aircraft were repainted in greys and which were not so the 8./JG26 aircraft might have both been grey or both been green... I've gone with a hunch, looking at contrasts between colors and so on so while I'm happy with my choice it's far from certain to be correct.

BTW, 8./JG26 was known as the "Adamson staffel" after the cartoon they used for their staffelmarking - a unit that should appeal to the Simpsons fans among us as it looks like Homer Simpsons fore-runner!
