Re: barkhorns me-109

Hi Gary:

At one time, the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio had a Messerschmitt Bf109G on display. I think it was a -6 version. Anyway, it was done up as Barkhorn's aircraft. I'm pretty sure I have a color photo with the "Christl" inscription on it. If you like, I can e-mail a copy of this picture to you. Send me your e-mail address through the private message system.

Re: barkhorns me-109

I did a profile of Barkhorns F-4 with Christl on it so I got one version which is layered and easy to get a clean copy of. The style of the lettering changed from plane to plane though...
