Hungarian Junkers pilot 1/48

[Black Army]

Hello!

I was allways inspirated by this photo, what was taken at the eastern front in 1944. The Hungarian pilot stand in front of his crashed machine. I think this uniform and the situation looks very good. So at the autum I have sculpted this figure and now I have mould and casted it.

Cheers,
Balázs

Excellent!

Do you know the name of the pilot, and the correct code letters for the Ju88?

Cheers,
Jon.

Hello Jon!

Thank you! Yes I have asked other Historians about the machine. The color was like this:

and the story:
The machine number B1+53
Typ: Ju 88A-4
Squadron: 102/1 Hungarian Bomber Squadron
The pilot: Lt. Péter Bogáti
The machine has fought with Russian fighters in 2nd Juny 1944. And landed so (as on the picture). 2 of the crew has serious, and two not so serious wounded. In books you can find more pictures and memoars from the crew members.

Cheers,
Balázs
