BH,
The profile you pasted there is from a book called----- >
“Luftwaffe Fighter Aircraft in profile”.
Or “Deutsche Jagdflugzeuge 1939-1945 in Farbprofilen” same book.
Yeah seen it many times, truth is even "the master" can be fed BS, here is his updated drawing of Green 1.
My reason for a repost is due to new info
nothing is cast in stone til I think its done.
Funny thing is, I based my first attempt on that top pic you have posted there and how can I say this, its not a very good profile . . . . .
The debate over green one/red one will go on especially seeing as first publications of Grafs AC show it as being Red one and the only available photographs are in B/W.
The tipping of the scales in favour of green one, is the fact that Grafs AC were staff’s, so they should have been green numerals.
Now the other debate over the tail is due to photographs showing Graf standing next to the tail of his “other” AC, which was painted overall white.
No photographs of his tulip nose show it with a white tail as of yet.
I find it fascinating and think others would to, so I will post new info as and when.
Yes we went through this before and no need to swear, we will go through it again until the job is done
It also shows a healthy progression in work, something I think is very relevant to the people on simmers asking about where/how do you start.
Soooooo watch this space
“It's pretty easy to surmise that information on the color of the fuselage number must have come up in the preparations for the book”.
So it must, but he got it wrong at least once, 2 books, 2 colours
