Bf109 in Brazilian Museum - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Douglas Jr. · #1 8th January 2007, 20:16

Hi all,

During the Holidays I went to the new museum created and kept by TAM, a Brazilian private air company. As I was with my fiancée and we were returning from a long trip, I didn't have too much time left to take good pictures of some nice airplanes that are displayed. Thus, my attention concentrated mainly in the genuine Bf109G (not a Spanish-made Buchón).

This Gustav is wrongly painted as the famous Marseille's "Yellow 14" but it is in very nice shape after an extensive restoration. Well, I will let the pictures do the talk... once more, sorry for the few, poor-quality pictures.

Wishes,

Douglas.

I´m still posting! Here are the last three.
Hope you enjoy it.
I´m planning to return to the museum this month yet, and I promise to get better images.

Douglas.

Fuselage is a new build from Wagner in Germany, wings are suposed to be original and traded from a German museum.

Swastika looks too large and a glossy prop?

Well, we know that Marseille was killed in a Bf 109G. Do we know for certain that he hadn't marked it with the same markings as his 109F "Yellow 14"?

Beautiful photos, Douglas. Thanks.

According to the information provided, it is an original fuselage/airplane (but restored). Here is the link (in English):

Thanks for the compliments about the pictures. I will return there soon, and will take some good pics.
