Personally, I value pictures above anything else. IMO tail 75/82 or 70

Work has begun.

 

Love my sources and books.....

 

 

Different sources different views on the same plane.

 

The middle livery is from Claes Sundin where the only thing i agree on is the unpainted underwing parts.

 

 

Wohoo, my favourite skin is coming :D

 

For those who are not familiar with Günther Landt, pilot of this plane, was one of the most succesful pilots with K4, seven kills out of his total 21 was probably scored with K4. This plane was lost in mid air collision with Mustang, Landt baled out unhurt.

 

By the way, middle profile is actually from JaPo book, Sundin's profile here:

Yes you are right my fault, forgot to put Claes his profile on it aswell.

 

Tail will be either brown or grey but i dont think its green.

Yep, grey would be my choice too.

What are those scratch looking marks on the side-view?

[Lizzard]

o.k. now that are some impressive screens Mainstay..:thumbup:

[snowsniper]

that one is nice !

[DB 605]

Great start! I have couple of scan that hopefully help you finish it. Sorry should have post these yesterday. First, here is the profile of standard 332 xxx series camouflage and rudder scheme:

 

 

 

And next from upper side, this is most probably used scheme in 332 xxx series. As you can see from earlier page pictures of actual plane, this is probably case with "yellow 1" too:

 

 

 

Here's close up how wing root area was painted on early and late schemes:

 

 

 

And lastly, this is my personal befielf:

 

 

Looking again actual pics, to my eye this area seems to be exactly same color as tail, i.e. lighter shade version of RLM 75. This would make sense also when comparing it to standard camoulfage scheme of 332 xxx series.

 

But again, these are my personal opinions and notes, feel free to agree or disagree, you're the artist :)

[Skulleader]

 

Wow just amazing for me, hard to wait the final shoot +1

[arthuro12]

Sexy as hell, waldwerke style 109s have something rugged looking..

[Mainstay]

Some choices i made along the way. I will first show why i think DB605 is right about light grey on the fuselage (2 pictures).

 

This picture shows light grey upper side middle part of fuselage is grey also the picture probably shows my theory that the tail is also grey.

 

 

Now for the upperwing camo scheme i have chosen the late style.

 

Next picture shows that where the wing connects to the fuselage is light and not dark wich indicates the left wing IS late batch camo scheme like i already thought.

 

 

[DB 605]

But look at this pic, you can see wing is actually green all the way to the root:

 

 

 

Your last pic (upper scheme) seems to be from older japo book. In later book (from wich my scan are), they admit they make lots of mistakes in older book and they used lot more time to research and correct ealier mistakes to new book. For example, there is no such upper schemes as those you posted, in new one :)

 

Complex stuff, eh? :D

[Mainstay]

Download on first page is now ready :)

[DB 605]

Thank you! Downloading now. Despite some differences in our visions about scheme i must admit it looks very nice on those screens :)

[arthuro12]
