Unteroffizier Willhelm Staege, 2.J/88 Legion Condor, Alar d'el Rey August 1937
Spreitzhofer Flugzeugbau Arbeitschaft strikes again! Nice work, Reinhard. Good to see you "got the word" 10 years back about the camouflage of the first Bf-109Bs sent to Spain.
Great looking 109. I really love these in Spanish Civil War markings.
Great build of this early 109, Reinhard.
Nice splinter camo for 1937, which RLM colors did you use?
Thanks John!
You often see profiles and decal instructions with 62/63, but that´s wrong. The splinter camo Bertas that were used in Spain in 1937/38 came in standard 70/71/65 camo, which my dad applied.
Thumbs up from me too, Reinhard!
Wonderful result!
Wow, Reinhard! My favorite 109 done to a high standard.
Hi Reinhard. Great looking model. Testimony to a tangible history. I Just finished reading the Ballantines history of the violent Century. “ The Condor Legion “ the Bf-109 tipped the scales in favour of the Nationalists. Air power was major in Spain.
Gruesome history.
A really nice looking 109! Beautiful work.
This is an awesome early Spanish 109, Reinhard (@grimreaper). I just finished a Spanish 109 from 1943, so I really appreciate the level of detail and finish on this kit.
Another early model beauty.
