I'm now at the stage of finally applying the decals to my Bf109F-4/Trop and have chosen 'Red 1', a machine from 2/JG27 flown by Hans-Arnold Stahlschmidt from the Osprey book on Bf109 aces over North Africa. As expected on the port side it carries the circular JG27 emblem of two figures (Lion/Tiger plus a black figure) facing left towards the prop, and the decals I have for this from Xtradecal are fine, except that on the starboard side their decal faces to the right so that it also points towards the prop. My question is should the emblem on the starboard side actually face to the left, in other words the same as on the port side and therefore pointing towards the tail? My reason for asking is that I have seen a rather out of focus period image of JG27's machines in North Africa and I think it shows the emblem on the starboard side pointing left towards the tail. If it is the latter I then have the problem of sourcing the correctly orientated emblem but it would be good to know. Regards Colin.
