Bf 109F Rudder- Sigfried Schnell (Replica)

This art depicts the full-sized 109F rudder of Sigfried Schnell, a 93 victory Ace. 90 of his kills were scored in the Western front, including 12 four-engined bombers. Various pix show Schell with 109s and 190s. After being transferred to the Eastern front and shooting down 3 Soviet fighters, he himself was shot down and killed (Feb '44). The big scores racked up by the Luftwaffe pilots like Schnell will never be seen again.
This piece depicts Schnell's score at 57 kills, and highlights the impressive art that adorned his "mount". To see more, go to http://www.axiswarprize.weebly.com.
