Hi,
some time ago, I've received many interesting photos from Michael J Fuller, aka me109g.

I recently picked up a large quantity of Russian camouflage fabric and markings from a German veteran. He actually collected the fabric throughout WW2.
He kindly agreed to share the images, and here they are:





























Probably part of a Japanese plane, it is unclear how the German collector had this.

I saw some of these on eBay. I was tempted to buy some of them. That AMT-11, if that's what it is, does actually seem to have some blue to it. Interesting. The AMT-4 is close to what I've imagined it to be (I actually have a fragment of the wooden fin of an Il-2 with some AMT-4 on it - this seems to match that, not surprisingly; the AMT-12 on the fin also matches what is here).

Best Regards,

Jason

I had the impression that one of the pieces could have received some blue shades from contact with some other painted surface.
