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..

August 1941 saw the FW190A become operational and it quickly became apparent that this new aicraft outclassed Allied aircraft.Our masks represent the standard factory finish. Mottling was applied at squadron level and differed between aircraft.We have tried to faithfully represent the scheme use..

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..

Douglas Bader flew a number of Spitfires as Wing Commander at Tangmere. This insignia pack provides for two aircraft. MkII (P7966) and Va (W3185). At some stage Bader jumped the queue and had metal alerions fitted to his Va. Bader refused to switch to the Vb and believed the .303 better than the 20m..

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 to allow for the variations caused by production in different factories.Please s..

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 ..

From the F version onwards the use of the full Balkenkrauz was slowly reduced as the war went on. 850mm was used as a factory standard on most 109's, the white area being more pronounced on the fuselage and lower wing. The wing size was increased to 950mm and it is suspected that this was because on..
