This repaint is for the payware FlyingIron Simulations Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6/R3. It depicts "Rote 8”, flown by Oblt. Kurt Gabler, 8./JG 300, Jüterbog - Waldlager, July 1944.
The personal aircraft of Oblt. Kurt Gabler flew without camouflage. This saved weight, reduced drag, and made the aircraft more effective in the pursuit of the fast Mosquitos. Note that the gun troughs and various access panels appear darker than the rest of the aircraft because they are composed of darker metals (e.g., the gun troughs were iron). The white tail and wingtips identified the leader's aircraft since Gabler provisionally led III./JG 300 from June 20, 1944. The wide red Tailband was common to JG 300 aircraft at the time. Gabler's tally of 17 kills is depicted on the rudder. Gabler was wounded in action during the Arnhem operation, late September 1944 as Staffelkapitän 11./JG300 and sidelined for the rest of the war.
