I'm on fire now! Three more today, all E-1's from JG52. All heavily mottled.

First up is Paul Boche's White 2 that crashlanded in England on October 8:th.



Next is another 4./JG52 "White 2" flown by Erich Mummert who crashed in England on September 30:th. Despite the short time between crashes both the numeral style and enginecowling is different.



Finally, a 6./JG52 aircraft with an unknown pilot, with equally heavy mottling. All three of these schemes are often given as RLM 70/71 due to their dark appearance but looking at small visible parts of the wings and elevators it seems that they were regular 02/71 schemes with the sides very densly mottled in 70 and 71.

Fantastic stuff Cpt Farrel as usual.

Btw how's the young'un enjoying his first winter

[Cpt_Farrel]

Thanks! I've got some nice JG53 custom schemes coming next... My little girl has yet to see her first snow, nothing around these parts of Sweden yet. Last two winters have been great with lots of snow and great weather but this year it's back to the usual rain and fog of the west coast of Sweden.

If they're interesting, sure! I'll look into it, Mölders' Bf109F's are well documented but his Emils are not as well known. I have found some references though...

Beautiful work. Absolutely love it. These number-two's certainly don't stink.

[Cpt_Farrel]

Two more before the end of the year! (Mölders will have to wait...)

These are JG53, a unit which never dissapoints when it comes to innovative paintschemes. The III./JG53 aircraft flown by Erich Scmidt is from the period when they flew without the swastika so I haven't forgot it, it's supposed to look like that.
