After the first 1/48 armour model, here´s my dad´s first aircraft model for 2025.
Eduard kit, decals from Techmod, the kit and the sparesbox, painted with MRP RLM 74 and 76.

I found some really interesting decals for a Romanian Me-109E-3 that led to this build. These planes were former Luftwaffe planes that were handed over to the Romanians. They repainted the planes in their own colors and markings. I used [...]
