A Pair of 109F's from Jg 54.
« on: October 18, 2013, 08:42:06 PM »
I decided to take a break from the Emils to take care of a couple of Friedrichs.

First up is a Bf 109F2 flown by Hptm. Hans Philipp, Gruppenkommandeur of 1./JG54, in March of 1942. The tail denotes a score of 89 victories as well as being awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves(for his 50th victory).

They're beautiful!  :aok

Could you whip up a Jg53 G2 while you're taking a break? Not a single one for my squad.  :cry

I'll pay you in scans of color photos from volume 1 of a book I ordered on the squadron.  :pray

I thought you are Jg 52. If so, I've got a re-do of Gunther Rall's "Black 13" on the drawing board.

Barkhorn and I recently departed Jg52 and formed our own squad.  :)

Well then,  :salute to your new Jagdgeschwader.
Any reference you want to provide will be much appreciated, although I cant guarantee a timeframe for actually doing the skin.
