Profile 00: Messerschmitt Bf 110 E-3, L2+BR, of 7.(F)/LG2 This Bf 110E-3, L2+BR, of 7.(F)/LG2 shows a high contrast between the two upper surface camouflage colours. An armoured windscreen is fitted, and the individual aircraft letter, B, has no outline to it.
Messerschmitt Bf 110E Zerstörer 7.(F)/LG2 (L2+BR)
Photo 01: L2+BR of 7.(F)/LG2 carries a heavy mottle on the fuselage, fins and rudders. The wings show a high contrast between the camouflage colours, almost certainly RLM 71 and 02. The letter '13' is in the Staffel colour of white, and the Staffel's devil's head emblem can be seen on the nose.

Photo 01: L2+HR of 7.(F)/LG2 belly-landed on the southern Russian Front. Note that the yellow Russian Front fuselage band is positioned behind the fuselage cross, a placement not seen on the other major Bf 110 units' aircraft on this front (SKG210, ZG1 and ZG26). The Staffel letter 'H' is white with no outline to it.
Messerschmitt Bf 110E Zerstörer 7.(F)/LG2 (L2+HR) Larissa, Russsia Aug 1941 01
Photo 01: Taken at Larissa railway sidings in August 1941, L2+HR of 7.(F)/LG2 rests among other Luftwaffe wrecks. Of particular interest is the fact that it carries solid two-tone camouflage down the fuselage sides, the strong contrast suggesting RLM 71 and 02 as the likely colours.
