The vote by the RLM 02 color could ...
see shades of gray in the photo of the Bf 109 E by Lt. Georg Claus, 1 TO. III. / JG 53 "PikAs".

Thanks for posting that one The 02 does look right according to the photo and it's definitely more interesting too

Pardon my ignorance, but was the camouflage demarcation lines really laser sharp as depicted?

I've looked at the original image on the first page of this thread a number of times and even when taking into consideration the not exactly sharp reproduction of a 60 year old photograph, I still kinda have doubts.

BTW. I have seen other artists and modelers depicting various Luftwaffe types as such, so it's probably me.

Just putting it out there.

You're right ... I correct my drawing already

... I interpret the photo of the "White 1" that now.
