'Bf 109G2/Trop Black 1 Oberleutnant Franz Schiess

[Bullit]

Well here's my second Messerschmidt 109 and is the mount of Franz Schiess
'Bf 109G2/Trop Black 1 Oberleutnant Franz Schiess, Staffelkapitan 8/JG 53 Tunis-EL Aouina/Tunisia circa February 1943' (Minus the Black and white Ace of spades insignia on the engine cowling)

Schiess added a further 29 kills during this six months at the head of 8/JG53, before falling victim to P-38s off the the Gulf of Naples on the 2nd Sept 1943.

The umbrella was scratch built along with tropical filter, I think you'll agree a dry baked look has been achieved on this beautiful Bf109.

Bf 109E to go! (Bf109K completed already posted here ealier)

ENJOY!
