Just joking buddy.
Anyone ever wonder what became of those two kids?

So lets get this going today. These planes were actually used, but not by Germany. The markings are German, but these were repainted as German BF109s. What makes these different from 109s and also make/model/user.

On the right track but I think those are Hawker Hurricanes.

Way off base... Will wait for a few more.

They're "Spanish 109s."
More specifically, they're Hispano Ha-112s.
Messerschmidt Bf-109G with either a Hispano engine or a Rolls Royce Merlin Engine - the same engine used by the Supermarine Spitfire. The dead giveaway is the enlarged P-40ish nose.
Since 'real' 109s are very rare, Ha-112s are used in most movies featuring German fighters.

Here's one that might take some time.
Posted on 7/22/14 at 8:36 am to JustGetItRight
Is that a Heinkel? I can't remember the number, is it something like an He 110 or 112?
Posted on 7/22/14 at 8:49 am to Spaceman Spiff
It's a he-112. Probably should have won the competition over the bf-109. Continuing the theme of odd WWII aircraft, here are two more.

Not sure on the bottom one, but is the top one a Seversky P-35?

Close enough it has to be allowed. It is the Seversky P2A. A two seat fighter/attack export version of the P-35. It had the P-35's forward firing armament, but also had a defensive gun for the back seater and carried a hefty (for the time) bomb load.
The only export user was Japan, who used them operationally in China. Sweden order some, but the USAAF took them over for use as trainers.
I'll let the second one sit for a while. It isn't a trick by any means, but it is tricky....
