Searching for references (Phase I): The museum of the Spanish Air Force

This place is a very important place for me bacause I growth visiting it constantly, as well as other museums of Madrid. I return there after about 7 years and guys, it's really a great place!

The references that you can find in these places are priceless.

Ok so, here you can enjoy with things like these:

F-104 Starfighter:
Cabin Detail
And a 3/4 View

BF-109 Hispano Suiza Version:

DC3:



With a JU-82 behind

Stratotanker:

And weapon stuff!

If i'm not mistaken, these are Aircraft MG-42 and MG-34 (bottom and top respectively) with and without magazines, which were placed in the defensive turrets of the german manufactured bombers. This will be an excellent reference for my navy marines, because I like the WWII german look and the steel legion is perfect for this purpose.

And finally, there's a moment in the life of a man when you feel a lack in your guard, and then you know that it's the moment to construct one...a real legend. Ladies and gentlement, I introduce you one of the few remaining functional 88's in the world:



When the mentioned moment arrives for me, I will upload a full report of this beauty, messenger of hell.

Disclaimer: If someone wants photos of stuff from early 1900's (not only planes; weapons as maxims, field mainteinnance cars and materials...) for any praetorian guard army for example, please let me know and I will upload first quality stuff!!! That period in the spanish military aviation was very tricky, and this museum has tons of this things.

Hope you like the entry!
