[EMBLEM CORRECTION] ZG26 color historical photo

[SOLIDKREATE]

Hello my fellow skinners. I have found a color photo of a ZG26 Bf-110E? with a the ZG26 emblem. I previously thought the border was white around the shield. It turn out that it is yellow maybe RLM04 dual piped in RLM21. I hope this helps you with your future projects. Oh and this will also affect JG6 as well.

This photograph shows it being white?  There are that many faked re coloured WW2 Luftwaffe photographs on the internet these days , it is near impossible to be definite about the emblem colours .

 

 

 

When looking at the black and white photograph, to my eye the surrounding "white" outline does look a different shade when compared too the white inner emblems.

Maybe yellow denoted a flight leader?

I am well versed in the hierarchical make up of the Luftwaffe. My meaning may have been missed. What I meant was that because possibly a flight leader (Kommandeur) customized the emblem. Here in the states the Navy squadrons do that.

Or maybe is just the staffel color. We had white, yellow and red. Blue and green for staff.
