Silver machine ?

Post by :FI:Sneaky_Russian » Sat Aug 19, 2006 3:33 pm

Came across this quote
We climbed to 16,000 feet, and looking down, saw a large formation of Ju 87s approaching from the South with Me 109S stepped up behind to

20,000 feet. We approached unobserved out of the sun and went in to attack the rear Ju 87s before the enemy fighters could interfere. I gave a

five-second burst to one bomber and broke off to engage two Me 109s. There was a dog-fight. The enemy fighters, which were painted silver,

were half rolling, diving and zooming in climbing turns. I fired two five-second bursts at one and saw it dive into the sea. Then I followed another

up in a zoom and got him as he stalled.

anyone know of any picture sources or other references for this paint scheme?

Just a quick impression with a re-touch of the "Hurricane season" skin
