This restored ‘Gustav’ Messerschmitt looks like it just flew out of the factory

A late World War II-vintage Luftwaffe Bf-109G-6 that flew with JG27 just came on the warbird market and it grades “10:10.”

Platinum Fighters has “Black 8” a restored Daimler-Benz 605A V12-equipped Messerschmitt fighter built in 1944 up for grabs.

Sadly, the original centerline 20mm and twin MG151s are likely not part of the deal.
