MigModeller Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi all I have decals for Schaufer's 110 but cannot find any images online.

Black Knight Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Generally Frog's painting instructions are pretty accurate; you just need to change from the old generic 'dark grey' etcetera to a modern colour matched RLM paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A helpful friend suggests: Light Blue = RLM 76 = Humbrol 247 Light Grey = RLM 75 = Humbrol 246 Dark Grey = RLM 74 = Humbrol 245 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A helpful friend suggests: Light Blue = RLM 76 = Humbrol 247 Light Grey = RLM 75 = Humbrol 246 Dark Grey = RLM 74 = Humbrol 245 yes, they are reasonable if you like Humbrol see also @FalkeEins may have some specfics on Schnaufer's planes OK from his blog http://falkeeins.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/heinz-schnaufers-bf110g.html and https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/schnaufers-bf-110g.38546/ It may depend on which plane you wish to model, and as the decals were done long ago, new information may have surfaced. from Falke Eins blog Quote A summary of the a/c flown by Schnaufer G9+EZ (with this registration he flew from January 1944 to the end of March 1944) and later G9+DF (code later changed when Schnaufer became Kommandeur, and he flew with this registration from April to June 1944) Werknummer 720260, equipped with FuG220 G9+EF, equipped with FuG220 G9+EC, equipped with FuG202. He flew this machine through April and May 1943. 3C+BA, equipped with FuG218 no G9+AA listed. Others hopefully will know more HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 G9+AA is supposed to be flown by Hans-Joachim Jabs http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-110/NJG1-Jabs.html Cheers, Jan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigModeller Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 G9+AA the first 'A' is green, the second is grey on the decal sheet. Does that sound possible? Cheers everyone Thanks Troy for reposting pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Green is the colour for a Staff aircraft, A is the appropriate colour for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigModeller Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 In that case,l perhaps the researcher at Frog discovered something no one else has, so I feel very temped to stick with the suggested legend/scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is your model so your choice. However, the Frog artwork (and any associated research) is 40+ years old; it is quite possible better information as cited in the other posts has become available since 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The code AA would normally imply that it was the aircraft of the Geschwader Kommandeur, so it was a reasonable assumption to make. In his position, of course, he would be free to fly whichever aircraft he liked, night operations making no demands on formation flying or individual identification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
