Krusty's 5./JG54 109F-4 skin, need help finding info on it!
« on: March 05, 2014, 02:46:37 PM »


^^^^^
That skin is by far my favorite skin in the whole game and it's even on my favorite plane in the whole game, but I just can not find any information on it; where it flew, who flew it, maybe some pictures of it. Can someone help point me towards some info on this plane? Is Krusty still around? He'd surely have to know some stuff on this plane seeing how it's his skin.  :)

Found this pic of a 5.JG-54 Black 1. I can't tell if it is an F or early G though. It is lacking the yellow upper cowling.

Found a model of it as well Latrobe. I think the pilot was Hermann Schleinhege. Don't hold me to it since I cannot read German.  :D

Hermann Schleinhege
96 Victories




Here is the website it is in German.

The model seems to be a tribute to Schleinhege..

Latrobe, I have a decal sheet with this scheme. Here is the caption: Bf 109f-2. Flown by Oberleutnant Schleinhege, Staf-Kap, 5./Jg54 Late 1941. Schleinhege's final score was 96 kills.

It's a G-2

Danke was always a FW-190 guy, I have trouble distinguishing an F from an early G.  :aok
