Erich Hartmann's Bf 109 G-6, callsign "Karaya 1"

Isn't that a beautiful plane? I like the German winter camouflage schemes, there's something very pretty about them. This particular plane was used by famous Luftwaffe ace Erich Hartmann, the highest scoring fighter ace of all time (352 confirmed kills), on the Eastern Front. View attachment 273176 It's a skin made by ElsevomSparmarkt from War Thunder based on pictures of the real thing.

My mother lives a few towns over from Hartmanns's grave. Went and visited it before, took a few pictures. I think they are on my laptop.
