While the factory camouflage scheme was common to most production versions of the Dora series, there is a lot of debate as to machines at the end of the war. 1945 was a difficult time for production and a lack of resources led to many variations. Field adaptations to keep aricraft servicble also led..

The aircraft that used this pattern was flown by Ernst Schroder in October 1944. In November the II. Gruppe marking disappeared under the 900 mm wide red fuselage band on the rear fuselage.For alternative patterns, please see our standard A series (TNM-M000) or other pattern A8 masks.This set in..

The end of the war found 9th and 12th Staffels JG 5 stationed at Herdla. While 9th Staffel flew a mix of Fw 190A-2/3/8's, with the odd Fw 190F-8 used exclusively in the fighter role, the 12th Staffel was equipped with the Fw 190A-8. Fw 190s flown by 12./JG5 carried the standard camouflage scheme con..

With the success of the A-2, A-3 and A-4, the A-5 was developed after it was determined that the FW190 could easily carry more ordnance. The D-2 engine was moved forward another 15cm (6in) moving the centre of gravity forward to allow more weight to be carried aft.Our masks have been designed with..

This was the standard pattern used on the 109-E variants during 1940.Photos show a more curved pattern on the left wing and this is noticeable on Adolf Galland's aircraft.We have tried to faithfully represent the scheme used for this period.This set includes only the camouflage pattern. Seria..

The F series saw the introduction of a new splinter pattern on the 109. This was also authorised for use on the G series. The early G2/4 series had identical patterns. We have produced both a pattern 1 and a pattern 2 mask set to allow for the variations caused by production in different factories. ..

The Bf109G was manufactured at three different factories in Germany, each with a distinct style of camouflage that can often quite easily be identified with a little help from other distinguishing marks. Identifying which factory an aircraft stems from will help pick the correct camouflage pattern f..
