Messerschmitt Bf 109 B-1, 6-10

This image, shot my father on 7 April 1937 at the airfield in Vitoria near Bilbao in Spain.
A day earlier scored the squadron commander of 2 / 88 of the Legion Condor Günther 'Franzl' Lützow with it his first victory.
This was also the first air victory was achieved with a Bf 109.

For this reason, his machine got sideways under the car a special honor. A large "1" ... framed by a green laurel wreath and the date of this success.

In the black "character recognition" of the nationalists was a caricature of a beer-drinking drivers, "Pass uff." with the words (Watch out) painted.

In the background, Herbert Ihlefeld's Bf 109 B-1, 6-6.

Looks good ! Nice textures

I´m no Messerschmitt expert, but the problades look alittle too thick.

Hello friend,

The propeller was made of wood and non-adjustable.

Nice to see a profile and photo that actually has a personal connection.

Hi Heli!

nice photo and nicer profile. Good work. I just think you have missed the shadow produced by the horizontal tail.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon,

I see my illustrations illuminated relatively neutral ... without strong sunlight and without strong shadows.

Illuminate As a professional photographer such object would.

Ciao

Hallo,

es muss doch nicht jede Seitenansicht fast zwanghaft mit irgendwelchen Schatten versehen werden. Kontur-und Detailltreue, Farbstimmigkeit, dass sind für mich wichtigere Aspekte.

Und jene stimmen bei den Grafiken von Heli.

Nein, ich kann das nicht in englischer Sprache schreiben

I understand what you mean Espenlaub, I think it's down to personal prefferences. Shadows do however help people understand the shape of the aircraft so in that aspect their are usefull. I have no problem understanding German, if other peple do let me know and I will translate Espenlaubs post for you.

[Espenlaub]

wenn sie das könnten wäre das sehr nett.

Ich könnte es per Übersetzer leider nur so, und das ist Mist

nevertheless each side view does not have to be provided nearly forceful with any shade. Kontur-und Detailltreue, Farbstimmigkeit that are for me more important aspects. And those are correct with the diagrams of heli coil. No, I can write not in English language

Ich bin sehr betrübt über mein fremdsprachliches Unvermögen, denn gerade hier im Forum möchte ich doch gerne ab-und zu meine - unmaßgebliche - Meinung niederschreiben
