Hispano Aviacion HA-1112, they did have them, but having a 109 without an inverted V12 is like a big slap in the face to all the real 109s  :old:

Wasn't  one of the early 109 prototypes fitting with a Rolls Royce engine as well since the planned engine wasn't available yet or something to that extent?

The 1st 109 prototype used a RR Kestrel engine.

I hate Spanish 109's, IMO there not real 109's until it has a db engine

How many German 109's exist that are flyable?  No subing of parts and engines either...

+1

I always thought the RR powered 109's looked a bit off.
