Versuchsverband
Oberkommando der Luftwaffe - the
Trials and Research Unit of the Luftwaffe High Command - was responsible
for flying and assessing the capabilities of captured Allied aircraft.
These aircraft were toured to units of the Luftwaffe, where German pilots
had the opportunity to fly against them, and to fly the aircraft
themselves, in order to understand the operational limitations of their
opponents, as the Wanderzirkus Rosarius - the Rosarius Traveling
Circus.
This sheet provides markings for the same P-51B on CED48-257, now completely painted in RLM74 upper surfaces and RLM04 lower surfaces. Markings for two former RAF aircraft - a photo-recon Spitfire P.R.XI and a “cardoor” Typhoon are also provided, with both aircraft fully painted in RLM 74 and RLM04.
Many modelers have seen photographs of these captured aircraft and wished they could do a model in these markings. They will certainly result in a familiar aircraft with a very different look.
