Hi guys,
I've recently just got back into this mission-making thing and would like to make a couple of missions set on the Norway map.

I'd like to know about, or preferably *GET*, skins for 109Fs or G's for the mid to late 1942 period.

Having searched M4T, Capt. Farrel's and Canon's, I have uncovered quite a few dead sexy schemes (for JG5 based in Petsamo Finland), however I'm looking for the schemes used in Norway. I think it was I/JG5 and II/JG5.
Even just looking for pictures almost everything I find is for the Finland aircraft.
Ideally there'll be some info or skins that would let me use the cool 'painted-over desert schemes' that seemed to abound on the F's in the East in 1942/3.

Can anyone help out?
Thanks in advance.

Did you search Flying Legands?


They have like 100 pages full of 109s.

Yeah - I checked it and there's about 750 skin uploads of all 109 types but I didn't have the heart to dive in and wade through them all tonight.You're right though, it is a good resource site. Thanks.

I'l search Flying legands for you.

The source for JG 5 is rafiger.

Here the section of his page for the Messerschmitts of JG5.

Thanks Pha3e but those are for Petsamo. I'm looking for Norway ones. Maybe they do have the same schemes, but I can't find anything about the Norway ones yet.

Zorin - thank you! I'd forgotten his site, so never bookmarked it on my new PC. Just what I was looking for.

Stealth Owl - thanks for the offer but please don;t go through that trouble on my account.

Actually it's quite funny but almost all of the schemes labelled "Messerchmitts over Norway" are subtitled (And Finland). So it looks like the cool schemes were mainly based out of Finland, or that not many shots of those schemes in Norway exist.

May just go ahead and use them anyway cos they look cool.

Norway was a backwater at that time. The people with "throatache" within JG5 tried to be with II. and III./JG 5 at Kirkenes and Petsamo.

Is this any use ?????

Bf 109 E (or T) from Jagdgruppe Drontheim, Värnes 42 ?. The emblem on the cowling was used by II./JG 5 and the emblem under the cockpit is from Jagd Flieger Schule 3.




This link ...

has inventory lists for 1/JG5 and II/JG5, it would appear that 1/JG5 only had E's and F2's but 2/JG5 did have some F4.



Did also find this other stuff ... apparently 1/JG77 based in northern Norway was redesignated as 6/JG5 in early 42 so technically part of JG5.
