Paul R Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The black marks indicate vehicles and the white ones, air craft in this photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 The black marks indicate vehicles and the white ones, air craft in this photo?I believe that you are correct. Beneath the two white rings, a silhouette of an aircraft, is painted on the barrel. I believe that the dark rings, are for vehicles.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Noss Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Maybe one remark.In a ground-to-air combat the whole battery got the markings on all guns, cause the whole battery fired at the airplanes together and it was probably impossible to name the gun which made the "final hit" to kill the airplane.Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hello RobertWow, that's the best pictures I have ever seen. It gives me a lot of painting ideas, for my scale modelling. The gun barrel, that looks like a banana peel, must really have gone off with a bang. The picture with the abschusswimpel is very interesting. I have never seen those before.All the bestSnoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
