The Spanish one is similar to one I started around 1996 using the Airfix D-9 but never finished.

The Czech one...  They had gathered about 100 airframes for use but for some reason went for the 190.  Had they gone for the 190 instead, it would have taken the Jumo 211 as a replacement engine easier than the 109 did (the 213 being IIRC a bored out 211).

Excellent.
Is the Borduran one from a Tin Tin comic?

[Spey_Phantom]

I like the Swiss one, nice alternative to the P-51s.

Italian sure looks right to me !

Indeed, certainly my favourite of a lovely bunch.

I've done an Italian (ANR) D-9, maybe an A or F is due
