Pending release - He-51
First fighter of the new air force of the NAZI War Machine. This plane bridged the gap between the old biplanes of WWI and the new mono winged Me-109 (Bf-109) that was to revolutionize the aircraft of WWII.
Ultimately there would be six Jagdgeschwaders. Each would have their own color which served to identify the aircraft of that Jagdgeschwader. They were further identified with or without bars to show which 'gruppe' they belonged, circles and stripes indicated the 'staffel and lastly, numbered between 1 and 12 to show their place in the staffel.
The Heinkel 51 also served in the Kondor Legion in Spain which was, in some circles, thought to be nothing more than a loosely disguised training mission for the future Luftwaffe.
Look for it soon in 1:33-scale
