Neat.

The text reads:
"The pride of the squadron, wing commander lieutenant colonel Galland.
Leibold".

This was signed by fighter pilot Erwin Leibold, who flew in JG 26.
He was credited with 11 victories.

not sure if this has been posted....

 

[BikerBabe]

It has.

 

[Njaco]

a few with his Fw 190. Someone ought to do this for the "Aces" Group Build! You always see the Bf 109.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful! He was such a class act.

Nice work Chris.

 

[Gnomey]

heres a colour susposed photo of one of Gallands 109's making a low pass. maybe somebody can ID which Bf109 it is?
sorry if its been posted already.

 

[Njaco]

I'm not sure. I don't think Galland had any 109 that had an emblem on the cowling.

it was a pic being sold on E-bag for 20 euro. but looking at it closely, its seems to be a G-6.
I don't think Galland flew a G-6?

Markings for that Fw190 are in the 1/32 A-6 Kit from hasegawa....if anyone is interested!

 

[Njaco]

Not sure he ever flew a G-6 or any 'G' model.

 

[Njaco]

A few more I found. Might even be a repeat here or there! And the Sibel is listed as his.

 

[Njaco]

so what if its been posted before? I'm too lazy to check!

That is sweet, Wotan, victory markings require adjustment though, 1-30 plus 36,37,41, 59 and 60 are RED, remainder in BLACK..!

 

[Njaco]

Nice an clean!

 

[Wotan]

Thanks.

Excellent, depicted in the correct colours and sequence, to be truely accurate the first vertical row should start approximately 1 row out from where you have shown it, all 10 rows should fit within the yellow line as I have shown, when repainted on the yellow rudder they were re done slightly closer together than before the repaint.
