I know, but it's ever so satisfying to fly in a repaint I did myself. I won't upload it.....

Here you are Cees!
The zip file below contains a layered file with a sheet with the numbers and a second sheet with an alternative 8 and 0

Hi Cees,
Sorry I had not seen your question. Yes I did this repaint, but I don't think I ever uploaded it. It depicts the Bf109 E-3 flown by Oblt. Hans Schmoller-Haldy, 3. J/88, Spain, 1938.
As only black and white pictures exist from this aircraft the actual colour is not really know. The descriptions run from Hellgrau (bright grey) to Schwartzgrün (Extra dark green), with everything in between upper surfaces and light blue under surfaces. Based on the period during the Spanish Civil War, for me the most logical choice was RLM02 grey upper surfaces and RLM65 light blue lower surfaces. The E-3 aircraft were more or less prototypes to be tested under war circumstances, so the standards primer colour RLM02 sound logical to me, although this was also the period in which experimental camouflage schemes were used.
The same is more or less applicable for the beer mug and the mickey mouse figure. Some profiles show them in colour and some in black and white. The black & white pictures don't really provide and answer.
Your "Ursinus" repaint looks nice. And as we already discussed actually more authentic than Stephan's repaint.
Cheers,
Huub
