    Wonderful photo!
    It turns out there was no turnbuckles at all? I thought in the fuselage to the wing root, something like turnbuckles?
    And it could not to assume that the fuel tank has a dent in the nose))

    Colleague, maybe even give advice on coloring? I do plane Galland, 2-78, and decided to paint the RLM 70 71. On most of his pictures Heinkel looks very dark. Although it is believed that he was a gray-green (63 71?)

    IMHO, stay with 70 & 71. 02 or 63 w/ 71 has too much contrast to match the available photographs.
    It appears that other 51's in the same unit were indeed 02/71 and even 61/62/63.
    A little research indicates it did carry the Mickey Mouse emblem and had the word 'Limon' stenciled just behind it. Appropriate, the 51 wasn't a very good fighter. Just a pretty biplane.

    Probably the only decent picture plane Galland.
    It seems that the black circles on the top wing was not no place for them? Or there was one circle?
