Hi Chris

I only know about one such photo, although there are probably many more around. It has been published in Въздушната мощ на Царство България, volume four, book. Cheers

Not much, but I hope it helps. Cheers

Hi Jure,

 

That's great. I was looking for Gustavs wearing the post '44 roundels. Of course, camo schemes and codes are hard to ascertain, but that's a good begining.

 

Thanks a lot !!!

Hi, Chris

I am sorry, I have nothing conclusive on camouflage, the best I can offer are speculations. I checked the AJ Press book, cited as a source on that webpage, though. There is another photo of Bulgarian Bf 109 G from early 1945, apparently just before adaption of new national markings. Her camouflage is described as original Luftwaffe RLM 74/75/76 with added spots and curves in RLM 76. Again, I am not positive about it, although it sounds plausible. Cheers
