This is the only one Polish Bf 109. The plane was bought for a bottle of whiskey from US soldier in Italy. It was served in 318 Polish Squadron in Italy in 1945.

Very clean and nice work - and unique subject :)

On photo there is a light spot (a big scarf - metal colour?) on the right side, close to tail - I cannot guest what was reason for that. And I am not sure if it is not something painted = a kind of art?. The second scarf or spot is close to end of engine - this one is around a hole when a crank was placed to start the engine (???). Or this is another art?

Anyway - very nice model indeed!

'splodges' are not uncommon on aircraft in Italy, I have seen a theory they were anti-gas indicator paint (which was available in camo colours)

A result of our losing 100 tonnes of mustard gas at Bari, and half-expecting a pre-emptive German response when the news leaked out?
