Thread: When you have no Bf.109s for the airshow

    Default When you have no Bf.109s for the airshow

    A picture I came across; Some RAF Spitfire Mk.XVIs painted as Bf.109s for a 1950 airshow.

    It looks at bit "photoshop-y" to me.

    The fuselage crosses on the distant pair look OK, but all the others look wrong (too deep a black, too bright a white)

    Also the "UT" letters are placed differently, and are different sizes - almost as though the "copy - paste" template was not resized for each plane?



    I'm not convinced.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Both sides in WW2 captured opposition aircraft and flew them to test their capabilities. They gave them with their own markings to show the current owners. Here is a photograph of a captured Spitfire.
