One of the colour ones is a screen cap from a video game!

Galland and 'white 12' buzzing along together?

Marcelo,
What a wonderful batch of photos, there are a good number wich I have never saw previously, so a big thanks for sharing
@ Frederick: that "West Front" colour photo also caught my eye, not only for the fantastic diaroma source of inspiration (think I have a resin figure set that pretty much offers all the main features on the photo, like the table, buckets, tools and chairs...even the mechanics are in it), but also for the bf.109 in the background... Notice that the emil on the left had its tail just replaced. The original rudder is kept (camouflaged, not sure the top colour used though) still bearing half swastika, thus indicating its early war construction, while the new tail section is plain RLM 65 with full swastika in it. The replaced part lays on the ground, just in front of the plane. Great stuff indeed.
Cheers
Pedro
