look at the very first pic that Soren put in this thread painted by friend Jerry Crandall back in 1992, the painting was worked closely with aces Walter Loos and W. Reschke and the spinner is the correct black-green that you see, I proudly have hung this monumetal work over my huge oak PC desk and cabinets and actually was in on the background with JC on this very painting

Country:  | Yes Erich ,I entirely agree with you.I don't think that the camo of the JG301 aircrafts could be different from the rest of Luftwaffe figters in that time.However,it is very difficult to say what colour was used having the black-white photo only.I don't know why an author of the profile used light-green but for sure he was wrong.I've made the correction of the spinner. And what about this now?

Country: | last pics on the 1st page, spinner is still has too much green in it. It really does look black with just a hint of green ........

Country:  | I would say they are a bit big as well (and maybe need a border) otherwise they look good

| Nice work Wurger, it just needs to be abit darker and its there 
Perhaps this profile can help you:

Country: | the gruppe bar is skeptical and may have been red in this case according to the original pic. yellow or green 1 the original photo is very small indeed, and again this was before the spiralschnauze was applied. all indications is that a funny looking horizontal bar was worn through out JG 301 craft and not just II. gruppe, the Bar was not worn all the time and that is clear on the II./JG 301 Dora 9's , none of the photos I have seen of those nice looking birds wear the second gruppe bar symbol. to tell you all the truth the camo and markings on JG 301 a/c are not typical of other Luftwaffe day time units. Remember that much of this unit in it's origins was made up of ex-bomber crew personell and it still was fed with those as well as recon pilots even late war, thus .............

| Erich,
I am confident the bar was Yellow, as it looks allot like that from the original picture.
Wurger,
Just abit more of a shimmering effect to the spinner and a more gentle transition from black to dark green at the radiator, and its there
