cheveuxroux Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Beautiful work ! I never knew a BF 109 flown during WWII could look so good in those colors. You might just start a "What If " trend for Axis aircraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Great looking 109 James! Those American marking really add a splash of color not normally seen. Thanks for posting! Gil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
