OK, Easter is over and I have the book I’m referencing with me. It is Airfix magazine guide 10, Luftwaffe Camouflage of World War 2, by Bryan Philpott, published 1975 by Patrick Stevens Ltd.

There’s heaps of quality detail, including Condor Legion, the standard early war splinter camouflage pattern masks, positioning diagrams and measurements for aircraft markings, Gruppen guides, you name it.

This page (fairly average scan but trust it’s legible) addresses your question 109E.

Please bear in mind that as the war wore on, conformity with these guidelines decreased and unit/aircraft variances crept in, for all sorts of good reasons.

Would like to see the info you have 🙂

Back from Melbourne (jeez it was HOT ~ hottest March days on record ~ and like a dust bowl) and back at work today. Will try to remember to bring the book into work tomorrow to scan some pages for you.

I have some great books on Luftwaffe camoflage and markings by Ken Merrick and Michael Ullman, can check them if you are after a specific aircraft.
All are listed and the varieties they carried

Thanks for the pics, appreciate it:) 🙂 🙂

The dimensions of the various markings on Luftwaffe aircraft are well documented. Are you interested in any types in particular?

Here’s some stuff to get you started: http://www.luftarchiv.de/index.htm?/flugzeugbau/kenungen.htm

Thanks very much for this info, it’s just what I’m looking for 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have an Airfix Luftwaffe camouflage guide from years ago … and I’ve just had it returned to me by a modeller I’d loaned it to. It includes all sorts of interesting information including specific measurements for all markings.

I will check it out this evening if I can (BUT – I will also be packing to get off to Melbourne for the F1 opener!).
