The subject is a Bf 109G-6 coded MT-419 (WNr.412131) belonging to 3./HLeLv34 flown by Finnish Ace Capt. Olli P. Puhakka during May and June 1944 to claim 8 victories. It seems no photo exists of this aircraft, so, according to the rules and according to some sources as Mr Kari Stenman: this aircraft was in the first Bf 109G-6s delivered to 3./HLeLv34 late in April 1944 and the last digit of the code was often/always wore on the tail at this period. This aircraft was destroyed on June 20, 1944 in air-raid. The next "Yellow 9" belonging to the 3./HLeLv34 could be MT-482...

You have done it again Steph, a magnificent machine and I agree with Andy, nice touch with the shoulder straps draped over the fuselage. :D
