Bf 109 K4 color profiles

[DB 605]

I decided to scan some K4 profiles here, to give skinmakers some inspiration. Hopefully it means more great skins in future :music_whistling: First ones are from Krzysztof W. Wolowski's book "Bf 109 Late versions". I scan only K4 profiles but book contains lots of great G6/14/AS &G10 profiles and information, i recommend to buy it :)

I'll add some JaPo profiles later.

 

Btw, Erla canopys are painted in single color, usually RLM 66 both in- and outsde but "reflections" in his profiles makes them look multicolored sometimes.

Wow nice - thanks a lot!

Any chance that there are more color palettes which you could provide?

 

edit:

Just found a shop where I could order the book - didn´t think I would after I´ve already invested a lot of time searching for it without any results.

 

double nice! :D

Sure, here is one from JaPo book: (they appear bit lighter shade in scan than they are in reality in book)

Nice posts!

Thanks guys! Started to scan JaPo book now. My original intention was to scan whole book but it is one hell of a job so i may only scan the most important pages and profiles. I will upload only profiles here, rest of the already scanned pages you can found my photobucket page: http://s84.photobucket.com/user/zx701/library/JaPo%20Messerschmitt%20Bf%20109%20K%20Camoufage%20and%20Markings?sort=3&page=1

Hah, and there's more to come :D

 

Good to hear about 334265, looking forward to it.

Got any more profiles with early type K's?

 

 

Like that one?

Look up K-4's of JG 77

[arthuro12]

Nice tip, thinking of starting on Black 12 though.

I think there is few more early schemes on japo book. How about 330255, JG27 bird? Check the profile couple post back. Would love to see that one...there's quite lots of pics of that plane.

I like those, I might have to try and squeeze out one of those over the holidays...

Fantastic references. Looking forward to all those rugged looking 109 skins in the pipeline. :)

Do you have a view of the top of the wings from those last 4 you posted?

This should be upper scheme of 330 255 and "white 3" of JG 77:

 

 

 

 

And this for "Blue 16" an "Black 8":

 

[NineLine]

Thanks :)

[JST]

They seem pretty much the standard pattern with some individual variation, as all planes.

 

Black chevron:

 

Black 8:

Started on Black 12 today, it looks a little less complex than those JG27 birds + that RLM 77 is hard to resist.

 

Cant find any photos of her though..
