I agree with Pitomnik that it's from a Henschel, I also first thought of a Bf109 like Bob but I think it something much rarer. Fantastic with the original paint - congrats to Russia!

Hello, all very fine and desirable pieces. Today I visited an aviation museum north of Denver and they had on display much of a ME bf-109 F4 recovered from Motovsk, Russia a few years ago. Believed to have been flown by Hptm Horst Carganico and went down either to gunfire or engine failure 7/22/42. The work # is 10256 and it flew in JG77. Most of the rudder is present and a real treat. Also picured is the never seen impossible to find front complete spinner cowling for a Stuka. The prop is a drop dead "I want it now" piece with hypnotic appeal. There are several bullet holes on the top prop, and I failed to get a good pic of that. The best news is these items are available, and I believe for a reasonable price. Somewhere around $25K for the prop is what they have in mind. The Stuka cowling/spinner I think $10K or so. The rudder is also available probably about same price as the prop. Best, Bill Bourque (anyone want to go 50/50?)

Hallo, Chen!

The fin tail of the Me110 you've posted is in London at Imperial War Museum!

One of the finest WWII relic, by my side!

Cheers!

So this one is at where?

According to Wim Govaerts' wonderful book Nachtspook van Sint-Truiden, the one just posted by Chen is in the Imperial War Museum in London, and the other is in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. They are from
Bf 110 G-4 "3C+BA" (Werknummer 1805560). There is also a photo in the book of the removed "skin" from a tail of B110 G-4 "G9+EF" (Werknummer unknown), but its whereabouts is not stated (or even whether it still exists).
