As far as I know- (and I know little) Jg-26 operated with a mix of 190's and 109's. That should mean the same markings for both planes. And here is another advice: release it now! :D

1./JG26: White with black outline.

7./JG26: White with black outline.
8./JG26: Black with white outline.
9./JG26: Yellow with black outline.
Unfortunately this is not correct for 1944! By reorganization of October 1943, due to the Gruppen size increasement from 3 to 4 Staffels, the Staffel colors changed. The follwoing colors where in use from early 1944 until the end of war:
I. Gruppe
1./JG26: white
2./JG26: black
3./JG26: yellow
4./JG26: blue

II. Gruppe
5./JG26: white
6./JG26: black
7./JG26: brown
8./JG26: blue

III. Gruppe
9./JG26: white
10./JG26: black
11./JG26: yellow
12./JG26: blue
