I recently stumbled across a web article (Former link below) which reproduces pictures from a French publication showing various marking schemes used for BF-109s and related variants including the HA-1112 'Buchon', which as everyone knows subbed for BF-109s when they made the 1968 Battle of Britain film.
Around about the same time an Italian film maker was making a film (Eagles Over London) that played 'fast & loose' with the Battle of Britain, guess what he used for Spitfires for some taxiing shots...
Due to the change in policy at Photobucket the pictures have been attached directly to this post.
At least the engines were right...
