This skin is based on Profile 52 of Book 11 by Claes Sundin. Initially I was puzzled by the fact that it is often represented on the web as White 10 instead of as Yellow 10 by Claes but after finding a b/w period photo I can see how he came to this. I did change the yellow on white to yellow on black as again that is what I am seeing in the photo. I am no longer showing a lot of my source material unless it is already in the public domain due to copyright issues which is a shame. However, for what it is worth, I spend a lot of time and money just doing research not because I feel obliged but because I am genuinely interested. I bought a pile of books on the Ta152 (but not the ones priced at £400, obviously). Sadly there are so few period photos available and a tendency to fill the gaps with extrapolation and guess work. If anyone comes across good information I am only too happy to make changes otherwise it is down to my interpretation of what I do have. Enjoy!

A white fuselage band on a Luftwaffe aircraft typically indicated that the plane was operating in the Mediterranean theater, including southern Russia, and sometimes in Scandinavia, signifying a unit assigned to that region during World War II; essentially, it was a visual marker for the aircraft's operational area.

 

I thought a white spinner looked better so for anyone wanting a no tactical number, what if version...
