Heinz Bar, Kommandeur I./JG77, Tunisia 1943

Here is the second skin of the Tunisian Campaign LW aces pack I'm preparing, now with new, revised, RLM color chips, kindly provided by my friend csThor (thanks a lot Christian and what do you think now,btw?).
This time is Mjr. Heinz Bar, Kommandeur of I./JG77 and his Bf109 G5 trop.



In the pic above is not sure if the machine in the backround really belonged to Bar, (his head is screening the number or Stab marking), but I decided to depict this aircraft in lack of any other documentation.
As it's seen from the pic it bears the typical early factory camo applied in the Regensburg plant.
I copied the characteristic double chevron (with pronounced inner triangle), that was painted on Bar's G2 in the same Campaign, assuming that the same stencil would have been used by the JG77 blackmen on this G5,as well,in a matter of a couple of months actually.
No victory marks have been seen in any G5 trops used in the Tunisian Campaign,(no time for extra decorations), instead I've added the repainted in primer,patched rudder tail areas of the machine in the backround of the avove photos.





I'm proud of what I did with Bar's face, in the pilot skin section, animating and old b/w pic.
The uniform I depicted is the typical DAK-LW exactly, as you can see it in the vintage photos above,with the shirt slightly more fadded than the trousers and the Knights Cross with oak leaves and swords hanging from his neck.
In the pic below you can see it in larger than in game magnification.



Waiting for your feedback...
Does any of you has any info on the machines flown by Munchenberg or Steinhoff?
