OK this is a sort of second build or more like a KUTA finish it will you build. I had made a start on this one in the last Bf.109 STGB but as usual things got away from me and I never actually got a chance to finish her…so maybe this time. I have barely started her, the wings are sort of done but that’s it, so it should make the < 25% rule. Here is the link to what has been done on her already. As mentioned in my other build, the scheme of this aircraft is of that flown by 1936 Olympic Pentathlon Gold medal winner Hptm. Gotthard Handrick in the Spanish Civil War Interestingly there appear to be 2 variations of this aircraft he flew. One the actual aircraft he flew in Spain and became an ace in, which was a Bf.109-B2 (top aircraft). And the other scheme which is thought to be the one he toured Germany in for propaganda use (bottom aircraft), which was actually turned out to be a Bf.109-D1. I’ll be doing the first one. Well one way or another I’ll get to finish either this one or “Dolfo’s” E3…….. plus I won’t mention the pair of “Hartmann” 1/48th Bf-109G’s I’m building for another project as well! -
What are those colors?? Captioned: "A very rare color photograph of a Bf 109 B-1 being the centre of attention for a group of Hitler Youth, obviously on a visit to a Luftwaffe station in 1938" in Aviation Classics issue 18, 2012 https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/germany/aircrafts-2/messerschmitt_bf109/messerschmitt-bf-109-color-15/
