1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109F-4 Ejército del Aire
Built in 2015.
Zvezda kit with decals from LF Models, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics, antenna wires with EZ Line.
In 1943 the Spanish Airforce received about a dozen F-4s which were stationed partly in France and Spain. Not much info about these, seems a few were painted in single RLM79. According to the old, non available anymore French book “AVIONS Hors Série No. 5 Les Messerschmitt Espagnols” some were painted in a 3-tone camo similiar to the Spanish He112, to say colors close to the early Luftwaffe ones. You find profiles on the web that show a green-green-grey camo, also LF Models manual shows that scheme but my dad kept to the “Luftwaffe” grey-green-brown color scheme.

Reinhard, @grimreaper
This is another great looking 109. I don’t think I have seen one quite like this before. It looks really good in the color choices shown here. That’s a very interesting story about where these planes were stationed. Typical with one of your postings, I pressed the “Liked” button too. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.
