| Hey Parsig, have you got any other FM 1:100 diecasts besides those two 109s? Just curious.... |
I have the Aluetian Tiger P-40 too and it's nice too. About like these....paid $6. I think they're good for $12 or less depending.
| Dear all,
I found the following details concerning Red 15 :
Bf 109 E-3 of 3.(J)/LG 2 September 1939 piloted by Heinz < Pietsch > Brenütz.The name Peter was painted in white on the engine cowling.Peter was a common nick-name which Brenütz also carried on his Bf 109 in Spain in which he claimed three victories.He was later awarded the Ritterkreuz on 22 October 1940. |
Thanks for that and welcome to our little diecast aviation hole in the ground. I will look for more on this using what you posted.
| Hello,
it is me again.
I also found some details in my little book shelf concerning the Yellow 1.Here we go:
Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 flown by Obtl.Gerhard Schöpfel of III./JG 26 circa 18.August.Finished in a high demarcation 02/71 finish, the top segment of the rudder and tips of the wings and tailplane are painted yellow.A yellow pennant is attached to the antenna mast and beneath the cockpit is the red Höllenhund ( hellhound ) emblem of 9./JG 26 and ahead of it, the JG 26 Schlageter shield. It was while flying this aircraft during the early afternoon of 18 August that Schöpfel shot down four Hurricanes of 501 Sqn. near Canterbury.
Just to add some historic background to these models. |
Dragon did this plane I think too so I knew of Oblt. Schöpfel actually. I looked it up then but ended up with the Fritz Losigkeit version which is nearly the same.
