Identity of National WWII Museum's Bf109 "Red 3"?

Remember, it’s not exactly Hendon or Duxford….at least they’re trying.

The Museum’s Bf 109 was assembled from parts recovered from crash sites; original parts located at former factories and carefully replicated replacements. This aircraft has been painted in the color scheme used by Ltn. Trabert from the JG 300 “Wilde Sau”.

Maybe it’s the light but that is a dog of a Luftwaffe scheme:rolleyes:

Very good Paul… 🙂

It certainly appears to be a real Frankenstein monster. Here is a link posted on the LEMB to another image…

“i wonder if anybody knows if a single WNr has been allocated to this airframe?”

How about a stylized ‘81754’ like you get on Number Plates for ‘BITSA’

🙂 Thanks for the pointer Chris… so the answer was right under my nose all of the time! I wonder if anybody knows if a single WNr has been allocated to this airframe?
