'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!

Hi bullit,

if you dont mind i want to point out something.
First, very good work. I am interested in this airplane too, have three from Revell.

Nice work, sadly i am miles away from your great work.

I searched the internet and one fact is, that Shiess operated from Sicily, so there were green camou patterns on the wing. As i read further, the aircraft had the new style (armor glass) protection.

Its no criticism, only some facts:

look here if you want. Enlarge those photos to see those details
