Re: 15/05 - Legion Condor Bf109s on eBay
#1) Bf109A 6-11 arrived in Spain March 1937 flown by Uffz Adolf Buhl with VK/88, afterwards by Lt.Rolf Pingel with 2.J/88
#3) Bf109V4 6-1 prototype for A-series, arrived in Spain December 1936 flown by Lt.Hannes Trautloft with VK/88 (with the "Grünherz" badge), afterwards by Oblt.Herwig Knüppel with 2.J/88 (Watch the absolute clean engine cover without cooling slots and the wooden Schwarz prop preventing the use of the engine-mounted MG)
#6) a Bf109A (wooden prop) IMHO the blade tips are not painted, but made of different material (metal as reinforcement of the blade tip. The leading edges of the Schwarz prop blade had a thin metal reinforcement strip, too)

Roland
