Jumo Powered Bf-109s In 1/48

Maybe you can try to cut them by your self, at least this is just fuselage numbers?

That is true. However, there is a decal sheet with numerals and markings used by the Spanish Nationalists. Also if I looked through my kits there might be enough decals to do the 55 for this ship. Time for more box-opening and digging!

Box digging Sometimes very interesting sport

Paint scheme on this one is finalized. The splinter painted ship 6 55 will come later, when I get more decal selection.

Hi mates,

Very nice and useful threat!! I have two Jumo Bf-109 that I have not finished yet. They are in building process, I hope re-take them soon, when I finish my D.520........
This will help me a lot

Cheers

Great news on your Jumo machines, memitus! Post photos and build updates of them whenever time allows.

Here's the finished Bf-109 B2 in the markings of the Spanish Gruppo "Morato", 5-G-5, after being handed over to the Nationalists after the Legion Condor disbanded. This is one of the often-photographed machines, having been the mount of two J88 Gruppe Kommandeure, Gotthard Handrick and then Walter Grabmann. Judging from the photos available, the airplane was overhauled and repainted after the Germans handed it over.

I must voice my opinion about the great quality of maintenance that the Nationalist mechanics appear to have given their airplanes. In all the photos I've studied it seems the Spanish really kept their machines in fine condition, at least from the external appearance.

I've just found a second photo of the Spanish Civil War machine with the splinter wing camouflage, 6-55! This photo has differences from the one on page three of this thread so more research is ongoing. I've also got a kit and enough decals to attack this project.

Love clasic Airframes,have almost all the models...good choice of subject,very nice detailed building...have a question only.
Wont you do some washing? Some oil stains,or wethering panels?
Since you have done such a nice construction effort,the truth is that the only thing that caches the eye in the end is the coat of paint and wethering.
Unless you desire your models clean,so...up to everyone's appetite.
Well done once again.

Thanks for the insight and question on weathering! On this particular theme of Jumo Bf 109s, I've found a lot of really clean examples and only a few of the trainers look really "used". I'm probably somewhat lazy on weathering at any rate as I'm doing these just for the fun of the build.

On this last subject, the Spanish seem to have repainted the airplanes after taking them over from Legion Condor, hence the clean finish. The next one will also show fairly clean appearance.
