1/48 Eduard Bf110 G-2, 10./ZG 26 (III.JG 5), Gossen, Norway Spring, 1945.
A combination of predominantly light colors RLM 76 and 75 make up the camouflage scheme of this aircraft belonging to III./JG 5, later ZG 26. Coming off the classic fighter role of JG 5 from northern Europe, these Bf110G-2s operated as fighter-bombers during the closing months of the war.
Although JG 5 was not integrated into the ‘Defense of the Reich’ system, it did employ the fuselage bands associated with it. Black and yellow colors assigned to JG 5 appeared also on the pictured aircraft. Fuselage Balkenkreuz appear in their later guise, made up of only the white segments. The spinners carried a white spiral over RLM 70.
