| Luftwaffe Markings dimensions & positions. I thought it might help if some of you had info about the size and positions of Luftwaffe markings on aircraft. These were applied to a strict standard pattern, although there were exceptions of course. The sizes were, in general, proportional to the type of aircraft, i.e. bomber, fighter etc. The attached diagram shows the basics, and if I can find them, I'll post diagrams for other types, such as Me109, JU88, Condor etc. By the way, the dimensions are in milimetres.

| Cheers Terry, very helpful, I just checked out my 1/48 Monogram HE 111, no swastika decals. Going by the diagram, I need 13 - 14mm sq decals.

| I think you are right Wojtek. I was unsure which section to post in, so put it here for now. If you wish to move it, please do, thanks.

| I have some info on early placement and camo regs. I'll see if I can scan and post. Maybe in the Technical Section along with Luftwaffe emblems?

| That sounds a good place Chris. Can you move my post there please? I'll eventually get the whole 'at a glance idiot's guide' on Luftwaffe markings completed, and post it as a PDF. When I get around to finishing it that is........
