Wow! Thanks for posting, put a smile on my face
I've seen the restored "Red 7" (G-4 rebuilt from Buchon) at an airshow and the noise is something else. It's the supercharger whine that really does it. Goosebumps indeed. I'm very glad these guys are working on more restorations, there are very few 109s around!
From what I can gather, this is an actual restored G-6 that crash-landed in 1944, as opposed to a rebuilt Buchon. Am I right?
Yes, that's correct and as you say its great to see some more DB605 powered machines flying
Here's some info from Pete's link:
WNF produced G-6, flown by Lt Schulte, crashed on May 29th 1944 near Melk/Austria. The wreck was recovered and the Austrian Michael Rinner started to restore it in 2007.
In 2013, the project was bought by Air Fighter Academy in Zirchow/Germany and the restoration was fully finished (I think) in 2017. -
Gives me goosebumps listening to the Daimler Benz engine:

Hi Jure,
Glad you enjoyed the link and like you I am amazed that they continue to keep their Mirages airworthy for so long. I read that they have produced Mirages themselves under license so perhaps have a supply of spare parts. Delays in introducing the JF-17 has meant keeping the Mirages for longer than anticipated.

Caracal decals have released a 1/144 sheet for the C-17 - if you can get your hands on the instructions it will probably give you an idea as to where the stencils go
