Bf 109G-10 Erla, WNr. 151965, 3./JG 300, Prague-Gbel, Protectorate Böhmen und Mähren, May 1945

There are a number of photos of this machine, taken near Prague in April/May 1945, pilot unknown. There are also a number of interpretations of the color scheme ranging from: (1) all green (RLM 81) to (2) a brown and green pattern on the fuselage with all green wings, to (3) a brown-green pattern on the fuselage and wings. Apparently the Erla factory started painting their 109s in some combination of these patterns as the end drew near. The green-brown schemes result in a low contrast pattern that's difficult to pick out in B&W photos, hence the different interpretations of the same plane from different sources.

The plane was essentially brand new and was most likely grounded the majority of the time so weathering will be minimal.
