On the dio:

Bf109E-7, of 9./ZG1, S9+?T, 1942.

Strange, while in Russia they didnt use airfields together with Fw190 regiments. But it is not looks like Africa on the background.

There was no such Gruppe as III./SKG 210. SKG 210 only had a Geschwaderstab, I & II Gruppen.

Ant 'Wespe' Bf 109s are III./ZG 1 (from January 1942 onwards).

Max,

Shame on you. Man! Erprobungsgruppe 210 did have the unit code of 'S9', but the 109 E-4/Bs of 3. Staffel carried yellow numbers only, and never had a 'Wespe' emblem on their noses.

So that's Max sent to the "corner", to think things over then?

Actually, there were a number of instances where you'd be able to find both the Bf109 and the Fw190 at the same field, and of the same JG...

Case in point, Jg54 (On the eastern front) was in the process of converting thier units over to the Fw190 from the Bf109G during the time period of 1942-43 and you would have the opportunity to see both aircraft.

I admire the workmanship of the dio and figures, but to me the figures look a little too big for the scale of the planes
