karimb Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hey guys, very very late post, actually almost one year late since i promised you gang that i would upload the pictures from my museum visit. I had the chance during a layover in 2016 in Belgrade, during which i had one complete day off, to go visit the Museum of Aviation, right next to Nikola Tesla airport in Belgrade Serbia. The museum itself's upkeep is very very bad and you can see it very much on the outside of the structure, the inside is also not that well kept, but to be honest it just adds to the whole eastern Europe, soviet era clout that covers the whole structure ( although Yugoslavia was never part of the USSR per se) There are displays dating from the Balkans war including the canopy of the F117, a couple of drones that were shot down and the tail of an F16. Indigenous aircraft are on display, some migs, some MiL helos, some cold war era jets, the fuselage of a P38, a Sturmovik, a typhoon, a Bf109, a Spitfire, a Caravelle and a Nieuport Bebe amongst others. I hope the photos will be useful to you guys although i couldn't get as close as i wanted to some of the displays, but still they are nice inspiration for weathering and trying out different type of schemes. I will post below the gallery link as it includes 108 photos!

williamj Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Like something out of one of those post-apocalyptic Sci-fi movies. coogrfan and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamj Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The 109 seems to be an amalgamation of parts and sections. interesting to identify what is and isn't supposed to be there. mpk and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no 109 expert, but I thought something looked odd about that one. What's wrong with it? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrown Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I'm no 109 expert, but I thought something looked odd about that one. What's wrong with it? The machine is a late production Wiener Neustädter Flugzeugwerke Bf 109 G-2, formerly assigned to the Bulgarian Air Force. W. Nr. 14792. It looks to be fitted with the latter pattern wheels and lacking the small cooling intake on the lower cowl for the spark plugs, but I'm not seeing anything wrong with it.

Martin it's a pleasure, with SmugMug everything seems to be easier to do and takes much less time to organize and publish! Ill keep trying to add interesting stuff from my travels. That museum I must say was really cool altogether! Karim mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Pretty cool! I was just in Belgrade yesterday - but, not enough time to go to the museum! Was the Fw-190 not on display?? Cheers Alan mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If they sold the 109, they could afford a complete new building!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 They sold G-10 already, for the very same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
