Reini78 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 After a longer 109 pause my dad already showed withdrawal symptoms 😄 So it´s finally time for a new 109. Gonna do the G-6 of Constantin Cantacuzino. After Romania turned against Germany, Cantacuzino was then given a special mission: to transport Lieutenant-Colonel James Gunn III, the highest ranking American prisoner-of-war in Romania, to the airbase at Foggia and return to Romania with 56 B-17s converted for transport duty to airlift 1,274 U.S. PoWs. He returned flying a P-51 Mustang because his Bf 109 could not be refueled.  DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr  DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr  DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The ones I have are from Radu Drinzan decals , I've had them for a while now, I think before Exito were a thing, or at least before I was aware of them. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. My dad already used decals from him for another Romanian 109 and an IAR, good quality, well researched, so you shouldn´t face any problems.  Curious how the Exito ones will work. Think haven´t read anything bad about them yet. They come with pics for reference and nicely done profiles and instructions. https://www.72news.eu/2018/11/exito-decals-gustavs-over-balkans.html  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
