In early April 1945, The German Luftwaffe formed a special unit, The Sonderkommando 'Elbe'. Using Bf. 109 G fighters stripped of everything except a single M.G., the pilots had a simple order....
"Ram the enemy bombers out of the sky!"
I've brush painted the 109 in the wacky colours of the unit involved. No, I didn't believe the story or the cammo, but all is true and makes for fascinating reading........
Please be kind. It was very hard to even attempt to get a scale 200mph closing impact speed on camera. My wife did her best to chuck the bits summat like, and I did my best too with capturing the hurtling stuff using multi-shots on the camera.
Canopy ejected earlier, the pilot has flung himself from the aircraft.......
The already badly damaged B-17 has no chance.......
Cheers all and thanks for all your great support during the actual build.
