                        Oh my!......so according to this, painting the BOB era Emil in "RLM 02" and RLM 71 uppers have been wrong?  I thought the 70/71 upper was the bomber scheme. Great link, but I'm not sure how accurate this information is regarding the camo of 1940.

                        The 70/71 was worn by E-1s/3s but by BOB time it was for bombers only. 71/02 is correct. Now BOB Bf110s did wear 70/71.

                        You're welcome, guys, and thanks for bookmarking it, PJ. It does answer quite a few lingering questions I've had. I especially like the breakdown of ID stripes and the various stencil locations.
