Heard this one may belong to Jerry Yagen?

They look great, I especially like the French one's paint. But better get them under cover before P-51s start circling overhead...targets of opportunity you know! :wink:

How much power do those Russian built radials put out? It will be interesting to see how well they perform. Of course, like any other warbird (except at Reno) they probably won't be pushed too hard. Don't want to break anything!

Great Job Mark V! Any idea if they will air test it in Germany or will it be tested by the Fighter Factory crew?

Also any update on the Bf-109s Jerry has in Europe?

Thanks - still got the stencilling to do though. It will fly and hang around in Germany for a while so we will have a chance to see it before leaving for the US. The 109 will follow in the resto line once the 190 is flying later this year.

No problem - it shares a hangar with three P-51's !

I've seen Jerry's paint scheme somewhere before ... think ... think ... :wink:

Heh heh - thanks, Steve, for letting a mere artist in on such an awesome project! 8)

Now, if I wasn't so good at keeping secrets and sitting on pictures! Darn promise-keeping!! :D

Very nice! Great to see these birds finally leave the nest! But, any news on the Dora version?

BTW, just noticed that Flug Werk finally updated their website.

What is the status on the 109 E ?

It's been in the works for quite a while now.

Just curious and happy :D
