Congrat. Radu, Nice job. One of the best romanian Bf-109 scale model saw until now. The canopy is a master piece. Keep going, Dan.  |

Thank you very much C-2. An article on that model will (eventually) appear in an American magazine. When published I will send Mr. Stinghe a copy. I will contact you when ready. Radu |

Sensational finding!
In an unrelated German source I found a photo that might very well show Yellow 14, 'Monika'. See photo and detail below, and judge for yourself.  Apparently, while with its original owner, the Gustav was a 'Kanonenboot'. It also featured a black wingroot painting, and the area underneath the exhaust pipes was also dotted with camo painting. Notice also the factory inscription on the wing leading edge. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on April 01, 2007 12:46 pm |

I have some doubts to be the same plane. for sure is from the same Group ( JG 77) judging by the emblem. But the number on fuselage could be 11 ( I know only no 10 flown by Oleczniczak) And the name could be Monika but also other names starting with "M". Anyway from the study of all pictures the no 14 painted on the fuselage doesn't match at all.   This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on April 02, 2007 11:31 am |

The second letter after "M" looks like an "a".

C-no, the photo you posted is convincing enough (assuming that the airplane's s/n was not repainted). I should have checked my photos - including the one you posted - before posting this new one here. But I was too excited with the finding.
 Nevertheless, the angles of the two numerals appear slightly different, just as it would be the case with 1 and 4, that's why I thought it's 'our' No. 14. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on April 02, 2007 11:44 am |
