Here it is the final and complete Frank Tinker's video, with the Bf-109 part reworked, so pilot of the 109, Guido Honess, could not parachute and died.
This is a video I did as a gift for a spanish veteran pilots association (ADAR), so they could send it to USA to be played in a homage to Frank Tinker. The early version of this video was seen in that homage, made aroud his grave. Here's a report about then:

In a ceremony last Saturday, the City of DeWitt honored Frank Tinker, thought of by many around the world as the greatest American mercenary of the Spanish Civil War. Family and admirers from California made the trip to take part in the ceremony held at the DeWitt Cemetery, while admirers from around the world sent gifts and proud words of the late Arkansas pilot. Mayor Aubrey McGhee proclaimed Saturday “Frank Tinker Day.” A Spanish flag and honorary medal were sent as compliments from the Air Force Veterans in Spain, while Tinker’s fans in Luxembourg sent a decorative wreath to be placed beside Tinker’s grave. The Spanish phrase on Tinker’s grave that reads “Quien Sabe?” translated in English asks the question, “Who knows?” Participants later drank Spanish champagne and watched a video of a reenactment of a dogfight of the period.

Some historicians contacted me and gave more info about some aspects of the video. In parallel, I've noticed that SAS was developing a Bf-109B and was in beta this summer, so I compilled the info and awaited for the Bf-109B launch by SAS, while keeping the entire video out of Youtube. Now I finally could modify the Messerschmitt part I posted some time ago, by replacing the plane with the SAS correct Bf-109B mod and uploaded the final video version here:
Yes, there are some unreal scenes. I've learned the tricks to use the Chroma Map while making it. Lots of hours spent on it, that's the main trick.
I would like to thank the authors of all mods, and specially the Chroma Map, the Polikarpov Pack, and the SAS, for all of their work. Without them, this video would have been impossible to made.
Thanks!
