Another beautiful 109. How many 109's are in your collection?
Tom Cleaver said on July 16, 2021
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.

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
