Condition

JG54, known as the “Green Hearts”, was formed in Austria in April 1940 and included many Austrian volunteers. During the Battle of Britain, the unit operated from airfields near Calais and Boulogne. One of its pilots was Walter “Wurm” Wübke, who flew this Bf 109E-3 marked “Yellow 11” with 9./JG54. Though not among the Luftwaffe’s best-known aces, Wübke built a solid combat record and had claimed 15 aerial victories by the end of the war.

He later flew the Fw 190D-9 as Staffelkapitan with 1./JV44, helping protect Galland’s Me 262 units in the final stages of the war. A distinctive early-war Luftwaffe subject, this model works well in any Battle of Britain or JG54-focused collection.
