Balkenkreuze of 425/17
Forumites,
I was asked to build MvR's last plane as a model by a friend. Fully aware that I may open an very old can of worms, I really would be interested how those remains in the Australian War Memorial match with the well known picture of the "guarded 425/17". As far as I see, the crosses does not match and maybe there is an explanation I failed to find yet. Please note that I do not wonder about the pristine condition on the photo compared to the museum's ones, but the style is different. On the museum crosses you clearly can see the remains of the old Eiserne Kreuze, even the white soroundings are still curved. Are simply both from the underside...? Any help?
Thank you!
Hans
