Smile Bf-109 E-3 in Romanian service 1/72



This is a HobbyBoss kit. It is a very nice one, and quite accurate. I have some doubts about the propeller's dimensions, but it's ok overall.
I don't want to be boring with details but here is a link about the E-3's history in Romanian service (it's not very much written, so it won't take long reading): http://www.worldwar2.ro/arr/?article=751
At this link you wil see a color photo of the real plane.

This number "64" was flown by Tiberiu Vinca, who had 15 confirmed victories.
More about him: http://www.worldwar2.ro/arr/?article=743
The sad thing is that he was killed by the allies (Germans) because of a confusion.
It's an interesting lecture, so i hope you have some time to read the 2 articles.


About the kit... i've done some scratchbilding at the interior. It's not 100% complete an right, but it's the first time i scratchbild an interior.
The colors are: RLM02 (interior), RLM71 (the fuselage dark green), RLM 70 (propellers), RLM 65 (underside- i hope this is the correct term). My RLM 65 it's not very correct. It should have been lighter.
