| ok after a quick look at daniels post and cross referancing with the sheet for revell's 1/32 bf109 K-4 for JG/27 i think the scheme for my K-4 might be RLM 76/02/81/82 what do you guy's think

| Well, Rochie....been studying the couple of photo's and doin' some reading...while watching Liverpool V Newcastle.... While I don't claim to be an expert on 'reading' B&W photo's Red 7 appears to have a low contrast scheme of probably 81/82 or 81/83 especially on the fuselage, a high contrast scheme of 75/83 would be rather obvious....much like the rudder shows, which just may be a replacement unit in these colours? The port wing looks to be a lower contrast, bit washed out by the sunlight, than the visible portion of the starboard wing....it is possible that the wings could be 75/83...the aircraft for the most part were made in sub assemblies and were painted as such, then brought together for assembly. there is one aircraft in the JaPo book that certainly fits this hypothesis. ...and red 7's style of camo probably puts this K-4 in the 331XXX W.Nr. block made in Nov-Dec 1944.

| Trying to find some info Karl.... Heres a shot of a III./JG27 kite, whose colors are listed as 81/82/76 with RLM25 band.... Found another profile of a 12.III/JG 27 crate that shows 81/83/76...

| Les, German for Operation is 'Unternehmen'. I've decided to do a 1/48 Me 410 B-1/U2/R4 by Pro Modeler/Revell-Monogram. Major Eduard Tratt of II./ZG 26 will be the subject (have to get some Zerstorer Reichs Defense in here!) about Feb 1944 when I belive he was killed. Some questions: Does anyone have any solid info on the matkings of his crate other than what is provided in the kit? I believe there was some question as to whether they retained the white Med bands while in Germany. And can I suggest another category: "Totally Out of My League and My Mind."

| Can I make another suggestion if it hasn't been covered? Entrants who will be posting progress pics start a thread with the title "Njacos Group Build" or something similar and the first post should include all particulars, i.e, Category, scale type and possible a pic of the project at the start of the build - like a pic of the box and packaged parts or a pic of the half completed model. Might make it easier on the judges.

| Now I'm stuck!!! on one site I found this...... "He recorded his 38th, and last, victory, another B-17, on 20 February 1944. Tratt was shot down and killed with his Bordschützen Ofw. Gillert in combat near Nordhausen in the Harz mountains on 22 February 1944, flying Me 410 A-1 (W.Nr. 420 410) “3U + Blue 1”." but in the kit and web it says Tratt flew a 410 B-1/U2/R4 that last day. Anybody have any definate info?
