Operation Bodenplatte...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-14, 16./JG53
Another older Fujimi model, built about 10 years ago.
Gefreiter Alfred Michel made his first and last combat sortie during operation Bodenplatte on January 1st 1945. His aircraft was hit and he had to make a forced landing. Afterwards he was captured by US troops.
Excellent build and fantastic camo, Reinhard.
Thanks for the pilot's short story!
Another beautiful 109. How many 109's are in your collection?
More than were built by Messerschmitt originally. 🙂
I'd say about 100...
I love these out of the ordinary paint schemes you guys keep finding.
Another beauty, Reinhard.
I'm with Tom on the paint scheme - really eye-catching - love the black band and then the subtly of the blue markings. Another great 109. (100 - really?)
thanks!
well, let´s say he built around 100 and about 80 are still alive
