Hi,
Can anyone point me at a reference picture for the upper camo scheme
(wings/tailplane) of the Bf-110 used in the Battle of Britain, please?
I'm looking for the scheme after the Germans had started replacing the
RLM70 Schwarzgrun with RLM02, but kept the RLM71 Dunkelgrun, so I guess
a picture of the splinter layout is what I'm after, thanks.

Thanks very much,
Ian

These are the 1937 splinter patterns[1]. However, SFAIK the splinter
patterns remained the same during the BoB period - the only change being
to bring the undersurface RLM 65 up fuselage sides and tailfins and
applying the "mottle" overspray camouflage to those areas.

[1] Note that the two patterns are just mirror images of each other.

Cheers,
