"Nesth?kchen" of 4./J.G.52...

[Revolver]

Hi,

this beautiful and fully authentic restoration was carried out by AREA for the Italian Air Force Museum at Vigna di Valle, and the aircraft currently graces the Speyer Technikmuseum.
Bf109G4 W.Nr.19310 was built at WNF and carried the Stkz. BH+XN. Assigned to 4./J.G.52, it was downed over the Black Sea while being flown by Oblt. von Coester on 20 March 1943 approximately 20 km southeast of Anapa. Recovered by a Russian team in 1987, substantial work had to be undertaken by the AREA team to restore the aircraft as no anti-corrosion materials were on hand to protect the exposed airframe once retrieved from the sea...Details information here .

My skin to the Bf109G4 W.Nr. 19310 "Nesth?kchen" find it here.


Best regards,

R.
